DuckDuckGo search results

DuckDuckGo was my go-to search engine because it provided me with results that Google hid, but in the past month, I've having trouble finding "bad think" and "conspiracy" information on it when it was simple in the past, and its results are becoming very similar to Google. Is this just happening to me?

DuckDuckGo uses Bing (Microsoft) for search results last I heard. If a person wants to use Bing results without using Bing I would suggest SwissCows.com over DuckDuckGo. To use Google without using Google try startpage.com . But why would anyone want to use Google? Nothing but sites trying to sell you something.

Some other, privacy oriented, options are metager3.de/en/ (searches multiple engines), and mojeek.com (they have their own web crawler),

You should try yandex. The quality of the results are better imo and with the other features its an actual competitor to google. Yandex + brave browser is the best combo right now.
Wow, great suggestion. Here's my barometer: "Risks of vitamin K shot for infants"

Google: Vast majority of results are actually positives of vitamin K shots, the opposite of what I'm searching

Yandex: Mostly actually shows risks associated with newborn vitamin K shots, much better than the other two. Showing the top results but the ones below were more in line with my actual search. Perhaps the CDC gets artificially boosted still.

I like also how yandex has ocr translation. And the translations are as good or better than google with the languages I translate.

I figure too that, yes, the FSB probably has a direction connection to yandex. I would rather the russian goverment building a profile on me though than the mcdonalds empire.

As noted earlier, DuckDuckGo uses Bing but (supposedly) aggregates other sources. Whatever your thoughts are on DDG, Bing was never intentionally a free thought bastion, but simply wasn’t popular enough for woke Microsoft employees to meddle with. I’m not entirely clear why there isn’t a good search alternative, but it seems to be it is an expensive endeavor with little hopes of monetization and profit.

Traditional search is likely dead for alt content, and in turn, so will traditional websites. DNS and other backbones will probably eventually fall to the woke mob. I think the normie internet will increasingly resemble cable TV, where you basically just scroll between dozens of content providers that are effectively vetted and neutered by the platform overlords. You will have to form a bit of savviness to escape this sanitized internet, but it will be the wild west once you do, sort of like the internet of the late 90s, and things like IRC, ICQ, Napster, etc.

If any of you are interested, PM me, as I have set up a private Searx instance that does not log traffic, and pulls from all major search engines, hopefully giving better results.

This is a major complaint I am seeing over the internet in various places about how useless search engines are becoming (some have been useless for years). The door is opening up for someone to build that real and truthful search result engine.

Who cares about privacy when one can use VPN or Tor?
If a serach engine provides me with lots of MSM trash, then what is the value of privacy?

DDG is woke, a subversion operation.

DuckDuckGo said no. But when I reapplied as a black lesbian who can’t speak English, they wanted me.​

I've been using Brave's search engine.
