I’m far from a Russian Stool, but I’ve found myself using Yandex more lately. You really can see the difference between US search engine censorship. For example, try searching for the most popular Donald Trump fan site, The Donald, on Google, Brave, Yahoo, etc. You will never get the Donald. However, try Yandex and it properly comes up as the first item based on its huge site traffic. This is clearly censorship. I found searches for Covid harm, Ivermectin benefits, and other hot button issues equally censored on the US search engines but fully available on Yandex. Ironic that the former commies do a better job of letting you read the info and decide for yourself.
Startpage pops ir right up. So does Brave.
