Been on the net since the days when I had to dial (yes I mean dial)into a server halfway across the continent. Was using
Gopher and later Mosaic at the time. Before that it was local BBS systems. The first computer I used was time share by paper tape teletype to an IBM 360. Nextg was an IBM 1403 with an 8K ferrite core memory.
Don’t make rash assumptions without data!
What I meant... was that this question (about search engines) has been discussed MANY times on here because of bias and security.
I also preferred the web crawlers of the day (on dial-up).
