TUSK, a censorship-free web browser for conservatives with an emphasis on free speech, launched on Tuesday, allowing users to "browse right" on the internet.
TUSK founder and Virtual World Computing CEO Jeff Bermant feels "most popular browsers and search engines are inherently left-leaning and biased" and he wanted to create a place where conservatives can see what like-minded people are saying.
"TUSK was developed with the idea of free speech, because if you go to other browsers and you go to their news feeds, you'll find that its center left or it's left and you weren't getting the full story," Bermant told Fox News Digital.
Unlike other search engines, TUSK doesn’t monitor users, collect data to sell for profit or create profiles.
"We want to respect your privacy," Bermant said, noting that a portion of proceeds from sponsored ads will go to veterans’ groups.

I will look at it. But I already use Brave.
Is it brave.com and tusk.com? How do these differ from duck.com (which redirects to duckduckgo.com)?
Do some digging on the developers background before you commit to something like this. The thought that it might be a trojan horse comes to mind.
No Linux.
PFFFFT
“news feed” ==> That is much of the problem right there.
Con alert!
This makes no sense. There is no censorship or thought control at the browser level.
Even the announcement is nonsense conflating various other things with what a browser does.
Unless I’m missing something this is an attempt to fleece MAGA folk who don’t understand the internet of their money.
A browser is not a search engine.
Not yey at any rate. I’m re it will come along in due time. 🙂
yey = yet. Dang fingers. 🙂
I think it needs more work.
Android yes. Linux maybe.
A lawyer (A Washington DC lawyer at that)
A political consultant(helped Bob Dole LOL)
A real estate guy from California
Where’s the “It’s a Trap” meme?
Too much hype and no real advantages over others
Coming soon, the default search engine will be our own TUSK Search.My standard test for liberal bias in search engines is to search "homosexual relations and the bible" (w/out quotes) and Google leads off with liberal heretical sites as its top results, which deny the unequivocal condemnation of it, and then provides a mixture of both Biblical and mostly liberal sites, even though there is zero justification for the the latter denial of clear unequivocal condemnation of homosexual relations (and the other major issue here is that of abuse of the Bible, not simply the moral teaching, though all penitent sinners can be saved thru regenerating faith, thanks be to God).Until TUSK Search is ready, Yahoo is the default search engine. You may change the default at any time.
Bing and Yahoo at least lead off with provide a clear statement "Throughout both halves, the Bible is clearly resolute in that homosexuality and same-sex relations are condemned as an abomination" followed by a mixture of mostly liberal sites in the issue. I have yet to find any other search engines which do not do likewise or worse.
In contrast is my own custom search engine for Bible topics (and one for conservative political issues) which Google enables account holders to create, thank God, though it limits how many sites you can choose to include.
And even though they are liberal, Google itself also provides a https://apologeticssearch.com/ which returns searches from conservative sites.
My myself use many different browsers, mostly portable installations, each with a general specific purpose, from legacy Firefox 52.9 (ESR) to the latest (now 100) FF Qauntum, and Vivaldi. Not Chrome or Edge though they can be. Thank God for viable useful tools and options which should be used for God and good.
Yea, i’d be interested.
I’m not so worried about my web browser limiting what I see, as I am the personal information it collects and shares with google when I use it.
