Okay, so to start out, I should probably let you know that I'm about as tech-savvy as your Grandma, and should be treated as such. For instance, I still don't know what all the buttons on the TV remote do.
Moving on...
I first learned about and began using Duck Duck Go back in about 2011, as other more popular browsers were beginning to track their users and censor websites.
A couple years ago, I started noticing that my Duck Duck Go search results were somewhat censored. And worse, they were nearly identical to what I could find with Google or Bing. This was not the case before.
I used to be able to search through websites that had a very diverse range of opinions on many topics, but now, everything on Duck Duck Go seems so homogeneous, and there is not a wide range of voices and opinions. Everything sort of echoes whatever narrative the corporate media is schpeeling, without any dissenting thought.
I did some experimenting, many times, and it seems Duck Duck Go is censoring many news outlets and websites.
When I research, I like to hear all sides of a story, and really dive in to try to discover, "What is truth?", but with all this censorship, every search engine just seems to be an echo chamber of all the others.
Does anyone know of a search engine that doesn't censor results? I'm not talking about porn or gore. I really don't want to see that. But what I mean is a browser that does not censor thought or opinion. I'm so sick and tired of everything mimicking (or being owned by) Google.
