Really good information to have. I have had a hard time as a conservative searching duckduckgo and this may explain why. I will have to check out the mentioned seach engines

I started using the one she suggested, and it seems to work, so far.

Hilarious! I did a search for "July 2019 DNC scraping for donations" and what comes up? Abortion. I kid you not. Though a common term for it is D&C.
Hell, maybe it is a Conservative search engine after all. :lol:

Seeing how google created Duckgo, built its algorithm platform then sold it to cohorts, who added another Duck to the name, it's safe to say, nothing has changed and google more than likely has access to Duckduckgo stats.

I'll use BING until I have good reason not to.

Bing is one of the worst offenders. You just as well carry around Alexa wit you. :lol:

Try it. I can tell they aren't using Goog' algorithm and that's a good start.
Interesting but who cares? Or why should you care? These companies make money off you and many sites complain if you use ad blocker. When you don't find what you want simply redo the search criteria.
"StartPage calls itself "the world's most private search engine." It says it gives you the best of two worlds: Google search results and complete privacy protection. This claim is probably a bit far-fetched. No search engine can offer "complete" privacy protection, because once you leave the search engine you are back at the liberties of the sites you visit."

Difference being? Both Goog and Duckduck support leftist causes. Conservatives want nothing to do with Marxism on any level, therefore, I offer options.

I would also like to see these Liberal tech companies be taken down a notch or two. I consider it a monopoly if all the tech companies are politically biased.

Something is in the works to rectify the issue, but I have yet to hear the details. Barr was talking about it last week or so.
