Here is another browser option. I just started using it. It's a very simple design, easy to use. Unlike other browsers, it isn't loaded with bloatware and you aren't overwhelmed by options. Duck Duck Go Browser Install Try or don't try. Use or don't use. Duck Duck Go Private Browser Wikipedia

Nearly one year later, Google is still directing those looking for information on “pregnancy” toward the largest abortion mill in the country: Planned Parenthood. MRC Free Speech America researchers analyzed Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo search results for the word “pregnancy” in a “clean environment” one week before the 51st annual national March for Life in Washington, D.C. Bing and DuckDuckGo elevated neutral results with links to popular health websites like Mayo Clinic and Healtline.com, as one might expect. But Google’s first result was a link to Planned Parenthood’s landing page on pregnancy. Planned Parenthood did not show up at all...

Yesterday I was trying to search information regarding Covid, vaccines and efficacy and everything was from Jan 2021-June 2021 and from CNN, CDC, leftists sites. Also, everything that came up was the complete opposite of what I searched. Maybe it's just me but I use to be able to search all this stuff with no problem.

Today I did this search on Brave using the Brave search engine: "when did trump declassify documents" These are the sources that came up, in order: CBS NBC WSJ Washington Post NY Times Missouri Independent CNN Politico Washington Post FactCheck The Guardian The Hill WSJ Newsweek ALL are liberal sources. Then I used Duckduckgo: Yahoo NY Times WSJ FactCheck Townhall WeLoveTrump Politico ABC PJ Media Yahoo Substack PolitiFact NY Post Rawstory WSJ Washington Post SKEWS to the liberals, but definitely more variety

IN BRIEF DuckDuckGo has finally mostly cracked down on the third-party Microsoft tracking scripts that got the alternative search engine into hot water earlier this year. In May, DDG admitted its supposedly pro-privacy mobile browser wasn't blocking certain Microsoft trackers, while actively blocking other types of third-party trackers by Microsoft and other organizations, confirming findings by data-usage researcher Zach Edwards. This special exception for the Windows giant was due to "contractual commitments with Microsoft," DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg said at the time. This caused a storm among netizens, and provoked some sharp criticism from the competition. Now, late on Friday...

DuckDuckGo, the search engine which claims to offer ‘real privacy’ because it doesn’t track searches or store users’ history, has come under fire after a security researcher discovered that the mobile DuckDuckGo browser app contains a third-party tracker from Microsoft. Researcher Zach Edwards found that while Google and Facebook’s trackers are blocked, trackers related to bing.com and linkedin.com were also being allowed through. You can capture data within the DuckDuckGo so-called private browser on a website like Facebook’s https://t.co/u8W44qvsqF and you’ll see that DDG does NOT stop data flows to Microsoft’s Linkedin domains or their Bing advertising domains. iOS +...

The information war continues raging…. On one battlefront we have Elon Musk trying to push back against quasi-government control mechanisms that constrict information and the flow of discussion and ideas. On a lesser, albeit similar battlefield, we see this. DuckDuckGo used to be the preferred search engine for those who wanted privacy on-line and unfiltered, ie organic, search engine responses. Unfortunately, CEO Gabriel Weinberg is now stating he will change the algorithm to remove independent information and media outlets and will replace them with only approved MSM results. “Like so many others I am sickened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine...

The CEO of search engine DuckDuckGo Gabriel Weinberg has said that they want to penalize sites which are associated with Russian disinformation.Weinberg took to social media and said “Like so many others I am sickened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the gigantic humanitarian crisis it continues to create.”“At DuckDuckGo, we’ve been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation,” he added.“To highlight quality information for rapidly unfolding topics,” Weinberg noted, DuckDuckGo is also inserting information bubbles at the top of the search results page.DuckDuckGo is a Google alternative that has grown in popularity in recent years,...

We should have known better. I should have known better. What was billed as the “secure” alternative to Google’s data-siphoning search engine has turned out to be no better at belaying the leftist barrage of downvoting unacceptable speech. What good is valuing my privacy if you don’t value my free speech or my access to all viewpoints? Joining countless other companies at destroying lives and freedom, DuckDuckGo announced via their CEO’s Twitter feed that the company would begin engaging in, effective immediately, the censorship of articles or sites that promote – gasp! – skepticism at the corporate media’s approved narrative....

Like so many others I am sickened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the gigantic humanitarian crisis it continues to create. #StandWithUkraine️ At DuckDuckGo, we've been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation.

On an episode of Joe Rogan’s popular podcast last year, he turned to a topic that has gripped right-wing communities and other Americans who feel skeptical about the pandemic: search engines. “If I wanted to find specific cases about people who died from vaccine-related injuries, I had to go to DuckDuckGo,” Mr. Rogan said, referring to the small privacy-focused search engine. “I wasn’t finding them on Google.” Praise for DuckDuckGo has become a popular refrain during the pandemic among right-wing social media influencers and conspiracy theorists who question Covid-19 vaccines and push discredited coronavirus treatments. Some have posted screenshots showing...

Gabriel Weinberg’s DuckDuckGo is taking aim at the desktop browser market, betting that default privacy-centric settings will provide safer alternatives to Google’s Chrome and Microsoft’s Chromium-based Edge browsers. The upstart search engine company says it is building a desktop browser from scratch with the same privacy-enhancing defaults that makes the DuckDuckGo search engine popular with privacy advocates. Weinberg, who co-founded DuckDuckGo in 2008 and expanded beyond search into email protection and mobile app tracking, said the new desktop browser will attempt to make things simple for confused web surfers. "No complicated settings, no misleading warnings, no 'levels' of privacy protection...

Three times in the last two days I've searched for sites of small businesses that supply parts and services to us old time firearms collectors. Three times I've come up empty, no matter how I vary my search terms.DDG is actually an overlay on top of Bing. Looks like Bing has gone hyper-woke.Anybody have another option that I can run on my old XT-Pro / Firefox 52 platform?

DuckDuckGo Search isn't giving Image Search Option. I have tried to find out how to contact them, but the only links I can find are on social sites (which I don't use), and Reddit, which I won't sign up for. I have been having this issue since I bought this laptop (back in January); Also, using Brave for the browser.

In an attempt to better track users and predict their search habits, Google Chrome has developed FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts). FLoC provides visibility into user data to any website that desires this information. In fact, FLoC places each user in an ID group to help websites recognize and target individuals. In response, the alternative search engine DuckDuckGo has come out with an extension for Chrome that can block FLoC tracking. Furthermore, users now have the option of using either the DuckDuckGo application or extension to entirely opt out of FLoC monitoring. Google first implemented FLoC in order to offer...

I had recommended DuckDuckGo to my friend as a better search engine because supposedly it did not track you like Google did. But now I find out that DDG depends on an Amazon platform or something, and that it DOES store some of your information. Is there a better search engine that truly does not track you? I will relay any info garnered here to my friend, and possibly incorporate it myself. Thanks.

I used to use Bing as a search engine but haven't in years. I've been using DuckDuckGo, but recently saw something that makes me thing they may have been compromised. Anybody know whether Bing/Microsoft is part of the Deep Tech crap? I also downloaded Brave.com, which seems okay. Any other non-Google search engine suggestions?

Bah... Here’s a no good rotten Vanity! LOL! I downloaded the DuckDuckGo web browser on my IPhone today and have been messing around with it. The app is in the AppStore and downloads and installs like any other app. Nothing uncommon to note. Setup was simple with 2 or 3 settings to enable or not. The descriptions were clear enough on what the settings are for and there’s a click button on the bottom of the Duck’s webpage so that you can change them later if needed. First impressions... So far, so good. It does have a bit different personality...

Do you get this message on your home screen as well? What the heck, nobody leaves you, or me, alone anymore?
