Need a new search engine as "Duck Duck Go" is now going woke---limiting searches of "misinformation"

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.

Use Brave browser. They have their own search engine. Don’t know how woke it is, but generally I find what I’m looking for.

I only use other search engines when I absolutely have to. Usually Bing, but almost never Google.

Yes, I know both are terrible.

Just write the software, build out a gigantic independent data center and hook it to to the internet backbone.

What tinfoil hat conspiracy did duck duck go censor?

Limiting searches of misinformation? Nah, what they’ve done is limit searches to propaganda. Ukraine is or has won the propaganda war and we see it in censorship decisions like this.

Is the Brave browser Startpage?

Or, is it something else, that can be selected in Settings?

TIA

On “Brave” “start page” does better than Brave’s browser...

Okay....I’ve been on Startpage (via Brave), for some time. I didn’t realize there is also a plain Brave search, as well. Thx

Start page is the search function is Brave’s browser. You have a choice in settings to select the search engine you want-—Start page is one of them and in the search bar it will search through whichever one you pick.

Brave and Startpage are two different things. Brave is a browser and Startpage is a search engine.
