I think I found a good search engine that is not the mainstreams.

I've been looking for search engines that have minimal corruption by Big Tech.

I've tested many and they all seem to repeat the same first page over and over and as you click next page.

However, www.ask.com seems to have escaped the corruption for the time being.

I'm actually getting different webpages as I click next page.

Years back it use to be called “Ask Jeeves”.

Another Brave user here for the last few years - still very pleased.

I test them all by putting in my name and see what shows up

When I use Brave I get pretty much the same results as Google

Ask.com is part of InterActive Corp. (Nasdaq: IACI), which currently (8/8/11) carries a valuation of $3 billion. About half of the company’s $1.6 billion in revenues for the 2010 fiscal year came from the Search business, aka Ask.com. Because this company has been associated/created/pieced together/partly owned by the geniuses that are Barry Diller and Liberty Media, it’s a bunch of stuff jammed together, including a lot of dating sites (primarily match.com), something called Service Magic (that matches people with providers of services), and a mish-mash group that includes everything from Evite to the Daily Beast.

This melange of internet properties is managed through some central corporate operations that becomes a cost center to everything, so it’s hard to say how much of the operating income total is really generated by Ask.com but it’s something on the order of half the “positive portion” of the cash generated by the company. (The way they report financials, the corporate unit seems to generate a suite of losses that every other business unit’s “profits” need to cover.) In a convoluted way, the answer is “a bit under half of InterActive Corp. or about $1.5 billon.”

I would do a comparable valuation analysis but for the fact that Yahoo is currently valued at something approaching zero after you back out its ownership in various Chinese properties (which doesn’t really make sense, but the market is what it is). There is no relevant pure play comparable I could find and I’m not sure that a comparative valuation analysis would really answer the question anyway.

Peruse later. I started netting before Google came out. My work friends all planned to buy stock when it was offered. Unfortunately, I was the only parent and too poor.

Some search engines
1. https://duckduckgo.com/

2. https://search.brave.com/

3. https://www.startpage.com/

4. https://www.qwant.com/

5. https://www.swisscows.com/

6. https://searx.thegpm.org/

I use Startpage as well—but they keep coming up with page after page of establishment propaganda.

There is a “trick” anyone can use to fix it.

The Mockingbird Media uses the same keywords all the time.

If you identify a few of those words and then include minus signs in front of them as part of your search the world of alternative web sites will open up for you.
