Yesterday I was trying to search information regarding Covid, vaccines and efficacy and everything was from Jan 2021-June 2021 and from CNN, CDC, leftists sites.
Also, everything that came up was the complete opposite of what I searched. Maybe it's just me but I use to be able to search all this stuff with no problem.
(Excerpt) Read more at duckduckgo.com ...
I noticed the same - search results suck.
There were some articles here recently re: their left turn.
Use “Brave”.
Yes! I noticed that also! I am looking for another group I can use. Or I might as well go back to Google because DuckDuckGo is just the same now. Boy did they bait and switch.
It’s NOT just a problem with COVID research.
It’s. now immediately defaulting to google type leftist sites on all things politics - literally !
Almost no difference at all now.
Obviously something is badly amiss in ducky land.
I had not noticed that, although have noticed a change recently. The search results seemed to be terrible. IE: not relevant to the actual search.
I thought DDG used the Google engine at its core.
I recommend Startpage...
I’ve recently noticed the same also, do a Google search, get lefty results. Do a Duck search, get identical. They went the way of Drudge. Probably bought out or being coerced. Election time is about here, the left has got to sew up all loose ends and make certain all are brainwashed.
Yes. Wish I had the link handy but I’ve seen the evidence.
Use Brave, it’s open source.
I switched from DDG to Qwant months ago for that reason.
READ later!
I read some time ago that DDG went to the dark side. Someone I trust uses Brave.
Startpage seems to work for me in most cases.
I fall back to Google for tougher [non political] cases.
Yes they did. They had an announcement about it.
DDG also relies on the Google database.
Brave.com is far superior for many reasons, most notably it relies on Google for nothing. But itās not nearly as corporate as Google. Not only does Google have a left bias, the first three or four pages are all paid for slots. Itās completely worthless.
They advertise all the time on NPR. You do the math.
Gibiru and Dogpile.
I’ve abandoned DDG in favor of Brave browser and search. Results are better and the ad blocker works pretty well.
They are all the same no matter what you use. They all lead to leftist sites.
I read an article the other day that was saying that info all over the net is being taken down.
It is hard to do a search for controversial topics now. You can’t find content that used to be there.
