Yes, they don't track you, I'm doing all legal things, I have nothing to hide. I use this browser when i can't find results on google. Btw, the DuckDuckGo database is small.

Tried duckduckgo, thank you! My main concern is doing a *reverse image* search, for when I find an image and want to find the set it came from. Still no joy there. :-(

I know that problem. Here's how I deal with it, find your image on DuckGo, drag it to Google images search and Google will show you the results.

For example, you may see a pic there and then notice a smaller version of it below the main pic. Clicking that will take you to a page of what they consider to be similar pics. You may want to try searching for a certain person and see what you find. Keep in mind that not all of those posts are sets or even full size, but some are both, with or without the actual names. And be sure you have some sort of ad blocker installed, that site is full of them. For example, I just tried it by searching for Courtney Cass. You can see one result below.

They are using DeepMindy to do this. It's pretty good but DeepMindy has a fairly modern slant when you go directly to their site. For vintage images, its very lacking. But if you like modern models its quite good.

I have recently found IGoogle addon for Firefox to be somewhat better than the regular addon.Just right click image & search.

Start Page.Search Engine

Like Duck, it doesn't track, rides on the back of Google's strength
..but try it and see the alternatives it offers.

Like Duck, change your Region/Country and see the different results.
Quite frightening regarding politics that Google find, and politics that Start Page finds. Same goes for ...say films.

Another choice for a greater search, a less diluted search.

Their image results are pretty naff, but in 'Web' or 'News' you will pick up instantly on links that would/might be on Google Page 4,000...if then

I've just tried DeepMindy as reverse search image engine but it doesn't work because it does never finish the search: after 10' or more it continues displaying

Asking Mindy....
Please wait while Mindy is
discovering all faces on your photo

I've tried with different browsers and images and disabling ad-blocker with no luck. I've also tried to put in an image taken directly from imagefap's face search like this but nothing to do! I don't know if it has momentary issues or has just closed. Can you run it?

Agreed. A couple of months back it was working fine but now it seems to hang indefinitely. It still works for older images from within iFap but if the model isn't in there already it is fairly useless. There are one or two new crowdsourced porn star facial recognition sites coming up but they are in their early stages and require much more participation before it becomes a viable idea.
