**** Gabriel Weinberg and DDG. They down-rank independent news and hide conservative content. When they got hit with backlash, Weinberg backpedaled and said it wasn't true, yet I can still see them doing it with my searches. Currently using Brave, but I've come to the realization that they're all compromised because they rely on google and bing.

That's how I understand it also.

BTW, DDG is not working for me right now either.

There is not such thing as internet privacy. Facebook along with anybody else including the government knows all about you. It's all one big daisy chain.


It is funny that some that never used Facebook think they are safe.

That's all true, AFAIK.

I don't use FB only because I hate it.

I hate that browser because it never turns up any relevant searches.

"Hey DJ, why don't you try Duck Duck Go?"

"How's about ****, **** NO!"

This for me as well.

FWIW, I have used DDG for as long as it's been available and I've always had good luck with it. I haven't observed any conservative censorship in my experiences.

If anyone wants a true UNCENSORED search engine, TOR is the only way. Warning, you may not like the results you receive, but they are truly uncensored.

Just got this:

We're currently experiencing an issue with DuckDuckGo Search. Thanks for your patience while we get our ducks in a row.

In the meantime, you can use other search engines right here by using "bangs":

Google: !g freddy gray rough ride video
Yahoo: !y freddy gray rough ride video
Wikipedia: !w freddy gray rough ride video
And many more.

Internet outages happen and generally they're short lived. Duck Duck Go is back up

(why do people freak out over these things?)
