I wish they would re-name that web site, but it’s not going to happen just to make me happy.

As I understand it, DDG is literally BING. DDG uses BING search to get their results, they're not a separate search engine.

So whatever restricting BING does, DDG does also.

The only difference is that DDG does -not- track you, whereas BING -does-.

I’ve been using startpage for several years.

I don’t like what I am reading about DDG

According to Wiki:

"in March 2022, Qwant filters Russian media websites from it's [sic] search results."

So Qwant is no different from DDG in that respect.

Qwant is a French company that uses Bing as well as its own search results. It is the official search engine of the French government. It's also subject to EU privacy laws.

Some other search engines you might want to try:

https://www.baidu.com/

https://gibiru.com/

https://www.gigablast.com/

https://english.sogou.com/

https://swisscows.com/

https://goodgopher.com/

https://you.com/

So, what is a semi reliable search engine or must we hunt and peck for a tidbit or truth?

https://michaelsuede.substack.com/p/search-engine-censorship-test-results?s=r

The results were pretty shocking to me. Here’s a summary grid showing the highlights, but it’s worth reading the test results because this snapshot doesn’t tell the whole story.

Google: passed 2 out of 10 tests.
Bing: passed 7 out of 10 tests.
DuckDuckGo: passed 5 out of 10 tests.
Qwant: passed 5 out of 10 tests.
Startpage: passed 1 out of 10 tests.
Mojeek: passed 6 out of 10 tests.
Yandex: passed 9 out of 10 tests.

penalize sites which are associated with Russian disinformation.

Does this mean that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS... and virtually EVERY News Publication and the Entire Democrat Party will be Cancelled for the Russian Collusion with Trump, Disinformation???

It would be completely inappropriate to note what Weinberg and Zelinsky have in common.
