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.

"This makes no sense. There is no censorship or thought control at the browser level." Not that we know of, but mot people simply use the default search engine of their browser, and TUSK states,

Coming soon, the default search engine will be our own TUSK Search.

Until TUSK Search is ready, Yahoo is the default search engine. You may change the default at any time.

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).

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.
