Get to know Hogel; Google Valley Replacement with More Security • DigiKala Meg

Privacy in the online space has become one of the main concerns of users. In the meantime, search engines as our gateway to the web world play a key role in collecting and analyzing our personal data. Google has always been at the center of these criticisms, despite its unique power to deliver results. It is here that a open source project called “Hogle” is introduced as a clever solution. Hogel allows you to retrieve your privacy when searching.

Hogel: Shield against Google tracking

Hogel is a self-hosted web app that acts as an intermediary between you and Google. This tool receives your search request, sends it to Google, and then shows you the results after complete cleaning. This cleansing process involves removing the following:

• Sponsored Advertising and Links: Your results will be completely organic and without any promotional links.
• Third -party cookies: Hogel prevents the cookies from storing your business on different websites.
• JavaScript Codes: Many of the scripts on the Google results page are designed to collect information that Hogel deletes.
• Links AMP: Designed to speed up the loading of pages on mobile, the Google technology has received a lot of criticism in the field of privacy. Hogl also removes these links from the results.

The end result is a clean, fast, and privacy experience. Although Hogel developers are always concerned about sudden changes in the Google structure, the tool is currently working without any problems and adhering to its commitments.

Complete control in your hands

One of the main benefits of Hogel is its flexibility. You can fully customize your search settings. For example, you can block the results of specific websites, activate the Safesearch Filter, or change your browser User Agent for further anonymity. After installing Hogel on your personal server, you can replace it with your default search engine and say goodbye to Google tracking forever.

Why is Hoghgol distinct from similar tools?

In the world of self -help tools, there are other options such as Searx that offer extensive configuration features. But Hogel’s existential philosophy is “simplicity”. Its developer emphasizes that this tool should be easily launched to anyone, even without deep technical knowledge. While you can add multiple search sources (such as Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.), Hogel is particularly focused on presenting Google’s deleted results and all its settings are made through a simple, web interface.

Real Experience: Differences that matter

Comparing the results of Holgel and Google, especially in a non -plugin browser, reveals significant differences. The first is Google’s “AI Overviews” section, which has made many users voiced because of the wrong information.

For example, searching for the term “mechanical keyboard” on Google displays a page full of promotional shopping links that makes it difficult to identify a high quality product. But in Hogel, the results lead directly to technical reviews, articles and websites.

This difference is more important in search of “big size clothing”. Google’s results are full of fast -food brand advertising like Shein. Worse, by analyzing this search, Google may bomb the user with unwanted weight loss supplements; A subject that can be very annoying for a person with chronic illness. By removing these layers of advertising and tracking, Hogel offers more relevant and local results that are closer to the user’s real need.

Tips for Professionals: Use VPS

One key point to keep in mind is that Google still sees the IP address of the server on which Hogol is hosted. Therefore, to achieve maximum privacy, it is recommended to install Hogel on a private virtual server (VPS). This will hide your real IP address from Google. The combination of Hogel on VPS, a secure browser and a VPN service creates an almost perfect defensive shield to protect your privacy during searching.

Final speech

Hogol is a simple but powerful tool for those who care about their privacy but do not want to abandon the high quality of Google’s results. The project shows that with self -help tools, it can be controlled by controlling its digital experience. If you are looking for an easy way to have a non -advertising search engine without a tracker and completely personal, Hogol is one of the best options for you.
