1. For search, I use duckduckgo.com. You can add this as an app to your phone and use it on your PC as well. It acts like the old google search and claims not to track or show bias.
2. For my browser, instead of Chrome, Explorer or Safari, I use Brave.com. Again, no tracking and no bias that I am aware of.
3. For news, I go to realclearpolitics.com and its sister sites such as realclearworld.com. Here you will find links to high quality articles from a diverse selection of websites. Both right and leftwing views are represented.
4. For a moderated selection of conservative and neutral leaning articles, I go to freerepublic.com, which is supported by reader contributions and has no advertising. Readers upload all content including links and excerpts from articles.
5. For California news, I go to presscalifornia.com for California news and opinion.
Press one for English.
My wife and I use Opera as the default browser. Any idea whose side Opera’s creators are on?
Does the “Brave” browser work on Windows 7, Pro edition? I’m still running Explorer 11, and spend half my time re-loading pages.
Yes but whose API does ddg call behind the scenes ?
I would also get VPN service from a reliable provider (I use PIA), and use it. You can bet your ISP is logging everything you do.
I use the brave browser, duckduckgo.com, and get most of my news via freerepublic. Anybody know of a US cell phone provider which supports phones running OS’s other than iOS and Android? (e.g. tizen, sailfish, ubuntu touch, etc)?
I have been using Duck Duck Go for > 1 year. No problems at all. Sometimes when I get poor results from DDG I fall back to Google and most of the time get the same poor results. Use things like google in private mode, default your browser settings to erase history and cookies, use a VPN and restart the browser when done.
The anonymity tool Tor uses Duck Duck Go as its default search engine.

You and I share a lot of web sites. For a browser, I use Slimjet which is based on Chrome but without all the Chrome tracking BS.
I also use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to the Internet. Mine is supplied by Private Internet Access and costs $40/year. Money well spent. PIA has many IP addresses to choose from. I’m in South Carolina but my current IP address is Houston, TX. PIA also has plenty of overseas IP addresses to choose from as well.
Fixed it
I love brave but I am having an out of control scrolling problem. Have you run into it?

I’ve been using IE for years. I can never figure out how to transfer all my favorites to a new browser.
I downloaded “Brave”, and so far, I’m extremely happy with it. No ads, no pop-ups. And, it seems to be much faster than Explorer.
The only think I would change, if I could, is to make the labels on the tabs and menu in bold type.
Also, on Youtube videos, the “full screen” function doesn’t work, but the “cinema” view does ok.
Thanks for steering me to “Brave”. I’ve still got to import all my bookmarks, but I like to take things slow, and methodically. I’ll most likely make it my default browser.
Thanks again.
People here promoted PaleMoon as a browser for years. On Android use DuckDuckGo privacy browser switching from Dolphin and Chrome. DuckDuckGo is the best search engine out there. Others have issues. Ixquick ended as it is now Startpage. What happened was Ixquick had no Google search results but Startpage did. Startpage is ok but it uses Google. So at one time both existed but in May Ixquick ended and redirects to Startpage. Maybe a Webcrawler is better for results but not a privacy engine.
As far as email Yandex is not working well. Maybe Juno will. So using gmail. Both free email sites Yahoo and Google steal data and privacy. So looking for alternatives. Yandex is not recieving emails.
