In the olden days this would be akin to picking up a redacted Yellow Pages phone directory.
Comrades, the Ministry of Public Information, DuckDuckGo Division, is making modifications to the internet search engine results in order to protect us from dis-information, mis-information and mal-information. Wrongthinking perspectives will no longer be acceptable.

What is this?
I have been using DuckDuckGo instead of google because they said they were for freedom and now they are becoming another google?
What’s left? Bing? Where has America gone?
searchbrave.com ???
I am using SwissCows, located in Switzerland. Don’t know if it is more balanced, but supposedly it is private.
I tried it and kinda liked it. I keep forgetting about it. I just don’t trust many companies based in Switzerland for some reason.
thanks, gonna try it.
I just added the SwissCows extension. Thanks. DDG will learn just like Black Rifle Coffee- if you plan to shake the tree, you better be prepared to rake the leaves and deal with the hornets too.
Brave’s search engine is a good alternative.
https://search.brave.com/
For the time being!
Yes Chief. They get um up scout because they’ve found dirty pictures of them….
or just the old way: WITH WAMPUM!
I use metacrawler and webcrawler. They are two old search engines similar to DuckDuckGo. They all place searches with multiple search engines and aggregate the results.
You can use Bing, Startpage, Brave.
If you are looking for something you think is being hidden, use multiple search engines and iterate your keywords.
Webcrawler is a good one.
and, remember if you are wanting news from a foreign country- use Babelfish (I no loner use Google Translate) and convert to the native language of the country where the news originates. Then when you click on a link…at least with Edge and Brave, you can use the browser to translate the destination page to English.
It will open your eyes regarding the news.
Not Bing…. I switched from them to DDG. Not a happy camper with this new development.
Bing is Microsoft! No way.
Startpage is pretty good. Bing? Really??
You may have already noticed that Biden and the Democrats are not bothered by this or anything else!
As yet, no one has given them reason to BE bothered.
Exactly
Most of these guys are out of the same area so they all think alike.
DUMBDUCK—gone
DuckDuckGone!
Is Start Page A website or an app? Does it switch search engines for us?
Startpage resides as an extension on Firefox on one of my computers. Haven’t used it on mobile since I rarely use the mobile for anything but a hotspot.
It’s a search engine; they also have a privacy oriented email service.
Thanks so much!
All I want is a search engine that doesn’t track me and doesn’t censor the results. It would also be nice to have optional filters (like most recent first). Does this exist?
Me too. Looks like DDG is now out. Any suggestions for use with Firefox?
I departed FF long ago for the usual reasons and went to DDgo for a more honest listing…
Damn! Where to now?
Startpage.com
https://www.startpage.com
Search and browse the internet without being tracked or targeted. Startpage is the world’s most private search engine.
Use Startpage to protect your personal data.
*******
BUT, it’s serving up google search results
*******
I want something private that does NOT filter my search results.
Try Brave (a tracking-blocked search engine that uses the Chrome platform). Seems to work well.
I could be wrong but I believe its Chromium based. Not to be confused with the google chrome..
aha.
I’d wondered about that.
Thanks.
Haven’t they been doing a recent ad campaign where they assure you that they don’t care what you look at?
“Ooh, what kind of dog is that? Never mind, it’s none of our business.”
https://www.ispot.tv/ad/O1yo/duckduckgo-none-of-our-business
What a crock of . . .
Ministry of Propaganda Lies and Bullsh*t
Corporatism?
Aren’t we just gosh darn fortunate to have these wonderful angels looking out for us??? Why use our brain cells when they are so much more capable of doing the work and telling us what to know…
I use SwissCows as search engine now. It’s in Switzerland, so it MAY possibly be more balanced.
Swiss chocolate or cheese?

Presearch.org looks interesting. Just trying it out, but it’s crypto-backed and creative.
https://presearch.org/signup?rid=3903783
Speaking of correct thoughts, I watched the Oliver Stone piece here on Ukraine here. Remember the bloody takeover of Crimea in 2014 by Russia as portrayed by our truth defenders, well Russia took over Crimea without even firing a shot. Its in the video among a lot of other info on some very “nice” characters.
And here we are. A few day ago, a nuclear power plant was getting shelled. That story is gone. Today a hospital. Oh the humanity! What next? A daycare? A maternity ward.
Thanks DuckDuckGo. We know its all BS. The movie Network was so right 45 years. “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore! Go to your window and scream it out! I’m MAD as HELL……………..!
The Oliver Stone documentary is unbelievably good. Watch it here:
https://tv.gab.com/channel/starcrest/view/oliver-stones-ukraine-on-fire-62269679f271e96c4dd8ee76
It’s on rumble, too
So far, just the maternity ward…
A baby formula factory here, a maternity hospital there. Is the orphanage next?
Senior Citizen Homes must be on the”Easy Targets” checklist too.
The hospital was not being used. There were no maternity patients there, according to locals. It was being used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to one source. According to another source, it was the Azov Battalion using it – you know the Nazi/SS troops. A pregnant woman was filmed twice with different make-up. She was a model who lives in Mariupol and has an account on Instagram. Here’s what I found:
“The U.S. Government did not have bioweopons research facilities in Ukraine! That is Russia disinfo (like the Hunter laptop?) and searches FOR such disinfo will be blocked!”
“O.k., the U.S. Governent DID have medical research facilities in Ukraine, but they were for medical research, NOT weopons research,..enen though they WERE funded by the DOD, and we are very concerned the Russians will gain access to the research materials,…BUT if their is any release if bioweopons, be assured its Putins fault!”
And this is all part of some fully planned and orchestrated master plan?
Along with the Blinken vs Polish government debacle, deliberately played out on the World stage for all to see?
Not buying it.
If you read the internet archive paperwork, the Department of Defense built and stocked them and then turned the labs over to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine. Once certain documents were signed, they could apply to work with pathogens. So, they really don’t “belong” to the US, but we built them during the Obama administration.
Here’s one of the papers about one of the labs:

Well Dutch, to be fair, they have no clue what they are doing. It’s called throwing crap at a wall and seeing what sticks.
They make it too easy. Go to DDG 2021 Charitable giving page. It’s actually the DDG Official Blog page. Hell, I just threw a dart at the list and picked one, and looky, looky at who they give to. Have some racial justice with your privacy. Lol.

Algorithmic Justice League
Duck Duck GONE…
Is there NO decent humans in private industry any longer? Ha,
silly question. I know the answer. I also know how they took over corporate
America. It all started with their creation of “Ivy League”
institutions.
Over the years all the elite super rich kids and kids of
politicians went to Ivy League Schools. They created a marketing buzz around
those schools epic success of producing top executives and politicians across
the globe. Once the American public had it engrained in their heads that in
order to succeed in life at that level, you MUST attend an Ivy League School.
So instead of the best person landing these high-level CEO, CFO and COO
positions in the country’s largest public companies, the Ivy League Degree
person would get them. Because Ivy
League was the ticket not only to get the job, but for the stupid public to not
question how the person got the job.
We would hear how the board of companies such as GE and IBM had just made so and so their new CEO. And they would say he was a Yale or Harvard graduate. And stupid us, we just accepted it and thought WOW that guy must be smart.
After decades of this practice, it became easier to appoint these
grads to these roles. But what was happening was, all the super elites were
sending their Manchurian kids and friends to these schools and then in return
appointing them to the executive levels of all these companies as well as
funding their election campaigns for them to steamroll the competition in any
election.
After years and years of this, they finally took over the Media
Empires, Food Empires, General Goods Empires, and by the time Big Tech came
along they were just excited to jump into bed with the already corrupt society
of the other empires, so they instantly went along to get along. You see, they
wanted to be invited to places like Davos and Bilderberg Group meetings, so
they turned in their souls right out of the gate. Not to mention, they tend to
be made up of weak minded soy boys who wanted payback on the world for all the
wedgies they had to endure the first 15-25 years of their lives.
So presto chango, after several generations of the systemic takeover
of the political world, they had now secretly and successfully taken over the
free market capitalist world by simply using the Ivy League moniker to place
their chess pieces atop those institutions.
They have now successfully taken over majority of private industry
from around the Fortune 5000 on up. Hence the reason they are trying to destroy
all mom and pop shops left in the world. And their hatred of Donald Trump
propping up main street over wall street.
Sorry for the long-winded rant. Just wanted to share.
Extend some of those implications to the Military service academies which were likely the last strongholds against that sort of infiltration and contemplate then what is downstream from that.
Can’t advance in the military very far, without “higher” education, just as in private industry.
Might be a bit much to hope that are decent numbers of them that were not converted in the process of getting that degree.
And you’re very correct
More broadly, was the gradual change that created a cieling as to how high you could go in any business, without a college education.
Once upon a time, a factory manager had worked their way up, and done every job in the factory.
He would no when something wasn’t right, just by listening.
We gradually shifted to where the manager hasn’t done ANY of the various jobs, and couldn’t if he had too; but, he has a COLLEGE DEGREE!
Yup. Exactly right. I had a post on here yesterday about how I tried to convince a lady that was working for me to take this promotion to a role that was usually held by people with a bachelors degree in accounting or higher. Which she did not have. But she had been the right hand to that other person for 25 years and she knew the role inside and out.
When I first proposed it to her she said no that’s out of her knowledge base and She didn’t have the degree. I told her flat out, in all my time in the work world the number one thing I’ve learned is that experience trounces a degree or certificate 10 out of 10 times. But she was adamant that she truly believed there was some special little nuance in the process that she just wasn’t qualified for.
I allowed her to think about it for two full weeks. And at the end of the two weeks she was firm on not taking the job. And it made me sad. Because it made me realize that not only had our commie educational system dumbed everyone down to a level of epic proportions, it had also destroyed the confidence in its victims. Which I found interesting since everyone gets participation trophies these days.
To be fair she’s late 50s so it wasn’t today’s schools that did it per se. It was a combination of the two generations. One generation actually demanded results while the new generation makes it seem like everyone is worthy of an Ivy League degree. She probably was lost and confused somewhere In the middle.
She may have figured kids today are geniuses and that simultaneously she couldn’t possibly live up to the standards set by her elders as a child.
Either way, it lends credence to your point about the manager never having worked the nuts and bolts of the role. We ended up hiring a guy (who is awesome btw) that had never worked in this particular field but my judgement of him was right and he picked up quickly and has done great.
The other great thing about who I hired is he’s a legal immigrant from Ecuador who followed all the rules to get here. And he’s a huge PDJT supporter. And his three older brothers who moved here way before him in the 80s are all either current military or finished their stints. They are a great family and people as a whole.
But it’s true, now and days, thanks to our screwed up system of work and education, people value degrees over “know how” as a standard. It’s quite shocking and beyond frustrating.
Sorry. Huge mistake. Grossly overrated. I went to Princeton, class of 1979. Studied blowflies for my thesis. Became a veterinarian instead. No one I met there is worth mentioning as a world leader. If so, God save us.
Another thing on this line of online tech company BS. I use Surfshark VPN, Mozilla FireFox , and DuckDuckGo to try to guard my online privacy (if that is even possible nowadays). At a prompt, I downloaded a Surfshark VPN extension for Firefox browser.
Yesterday, I was on The Conservative Tree House, reading a new article posted, when a “warning, this site may contain links that are fake news” poped up to the side. I immediately began to research this, and sure enough, Surfshark VPN has teamed up with Mozilla and Chrome to put up this FNW because of the Ukraine/Russia situation “disinformation”. https://www.realhacker.news/surfsharks-new-fake-news-alert-system-warns-of-russian-invasion-misinformation/
After I read for a while, I immediately deleted the Surfshark VPN extension from Firefox and it has not happened again…..so far.. However, not being the most tech savvy person, I wonder if there is really anyway to escape this privacy invasion from any of these browsers or search engines that claim to “protect your privacy”. It seems they are all doing the bidding of the Feral Grubermint, Marxist Democrats, Big Tech and the WEF’s Great Reset crowd. 🤔
While I still use FireFox, due to a lack of a better alternative, its CEO reacted to Jay-Six by writing an op-ed calling for increased censorship.
(And no, I do not consider Brave a better altenative. Every browser has problems.)
SurfShark went woke.
I’d recommend using ProtonVPN (and Protonmail) for privacy / security.
i am there but we still need search engine that plays fair
There’s really no way (speaking as an ex high tech network security dudette). And I don’t care who’s selling what VPN/firewall/encryption. The lengths one would have to go to in order to maintain private electronic communications is not worth it to me. As in, I don’t want to build a SCIF and invite people over for conversations in it. FREEDOM is the only answer. I’m going to read whatever I want to read, say what I want to say until I don’t feel like it any more. I use the Internet less and less every day. I’m ready for it to disappear entirely. The best form of privacy is to speak in person far away from spying devices (phone, Internet, iWatch, modern vehicle, etc). And if that’s what it comes to, we have much bigger problems to deal with. I’m just telling the truth.
I hear ya loud and clear. Just came back from a primitive cabin vacation…..beautiful brook running 10 yards away which put me to sleep each night after looking up from the campfire and seeing the night sky at its best.
Didn’t miss the phone, computer….nothing. It’s what I call true peace and the wildlife noises are a bonus.
and I thought using DuckDuckGo would be a better choice than Google
I can’t wait for the mandatory use of the G-election Online Voting System (GOVS). /s
Let’s face it- if you use the internet then there’s no such thing as privacy.
Absolutely spot on, Seneca. When using anything electronic/digital/etc., no matter how sophisticated the encryption system may be, no one should have any expectation of complete privacy. One should always use devices with the warning from the old National Security Agency poster in mind: “The third man is listening.”
Both with Globalism, and the new internet technology, the advantages are readily apperent, and seductive.
Its only once you are sucked in and hooked, that the hidden disadvantages become apperent.
It’s bad enough with the phone transponders but you’ve gotta love the people that use Alexa and those internet alarm systems in their homes where everything is recorded.
I don’t really care about the privacy…….I want access to all and any content…where when and however I choose.
THEY DO NOT CHOOSE FOR ME!
Ministry of Peace INSISTS we do no questioning.
SuckSuckgo
What do you call these people, institutions, etc.? Decepticons? I thought duckduckgo was the “freedom”
search engine. Another one bites the dust!
time to exit…
Removing DuckDuckGo from my phone.
It seems like the whole fu**ing world is on the destruction of the whole fu**ing world.. nuff said!
One World Globalism is aimed at the destruction of all we hold dear.
Frankly, after whats been exposed, I am in favor of tearing it all down, as that is the only way to wrest THEIR hands off the levers of Power.
Don’t like what they are proposing to build, but I seriously doubt they will be in any position to be the architect.
.”..doubt they will be in any position to be the architect.”
Ah, yes, the usual unforeseen unintended consequences.
How inconvenient. I should not guess, I want to be told what to think- just like in the USSR. Much simpler.
Avoid thinking altogether.
Its too stressful. You may prefer just doing what you are told to do and leave all thinking to your masters.
Thought duckduckgo would stay pure…so disappointing. It was my primary browser…now where?
Down Ranking….want an interesting project? Search for the now famous video footage of the brave Ukrainians screwing the fuse out of the supposedly Russian bomb that failed to explode during the evil attack on the baby delivery hospital…..notice the towel carefully placed to block the stenciled manufacturing detail on the bomb?? That sure looks like a Mark 84 or 85 American bomb from the 50’s or 60’s…. ummmmm Also notice the lack of deformation of the nose of the bomb. If that came from a bomber at any altitude above 500 feet, falling at terminal velocity, nose down, as they do…the nose would be crushed from impact. Just sayin….if there was a cat in that picture he would be giving the stink eye to the whole setup!
None of these people think we have a rational brain…so we should use their rational brain? It’s so insulting.
i use Duck….is there free a speech platform ?
No one “sickened” by the horrific loss of life that directly resulted from the violations of sovereignity of countries in ME from U.S. invasions and the manufactured coups of other countries, perpetrated in the name of Americans?
Just removed duck go fu. Will try brave for now.
Thanks everyone for the alternative search engines; have saved both https://presearch.org and https://www.startpage.com for future searches.
This is good. Look at how many of us are dropping DDG from just this one post. Now that we’ve lanced the boil, we need to be thankful that this communist pus keeps oozing out. These people can’t help but expose themselves now so let’s let it keep coming until it’s totally disinfected and is no more. As long as they were able to remain in the shadows, we didn’t even know who our enemies were. Now we can just keep picking them off as they appear. God Bless President Trump for getting this started for us. Collectively we will drain the swamp.
Be curious to see if there is some type of web traffic site that will show if this change causes DDG to lose any traffic to their search engines because of their move to comply with big brother.
So basically, they’ve become Google. Just crappier.
Everyone should listen to Joe Rogan’s interview of Robert Epstein! It’s long, but important for understanding media manipulation. He recommends Brave btw.
I changed my default search engine to Qwant earlier today because of this.
what is qwant? I noticed some changes in duckduckgo recently and I really don’t think they differ from google at all. I was wondering what was going on…guess I will check ouit qwant.
Goodbye Duck, Duck, Go!
There is no point to bother using DuckDuckGo anymore. They are the same as anyone else.
Just removed DDG.
Start with the tech companies.
The Great Tech Raze
DuckDuckGo is DuckDuckWent and it’s so easy with Edge …
Brave is now my default, with fallbacks available at startpage and engine.presearch … now to see if these alternatives offer anything new or if they’re just bing and google repackaged …
I would point out the creator of Brave Browser, Brendon Eich, created Javascript that runs the web as we know it and he was a founder of Firefox until he was kicked out of Mozilla (the company that produces Firefox) due to his opposition to Same Sex Marriage.
Brendon Eich created Brave Browser and the Brave ecosystem to protect Privacy first and foremost.
https://brave.com/about/
Brave Browser is used on PC, MAC, IOS, and Android.
https://brave.com/
Brave has also produced a Search Engine. Before this debacle with Duckduckgo, I was using that and Startpage. But I’m going to start using Brave Search… if nothing else but a big “F#(4 U” to Duckduckgo and Google.
Here’s the link to Brave Search:
https://search.brave.com/
Thanks, just got the ap
Brave has RT blocked 🙄
I can access RT news on brave…
I have brave search on brave browser on a mac, and it returned rt just now. Current news. Not blocked in NH, USA
It came up for me on my smartphone.
I can read RT through Gab.
…..and Linux! I have been using it at home on Linux Mint for years
I run LM on multiple computers but recently tried to help mama with her windoze 10 laptop.
I was horrified !
If you use windoze you may as well …. I better not say…
Ty! Just deleted ddg and loaded brave 😊
Me too!!
Thank you
Thank you. I have been using Startpage and had it set as my home page. I just tried looking for Russian Times on Startpage and it did not come up on the first page. I tried it on Brave and it was the first item displayed. I’ve switched my homepage to Brave, not because I want to go to Russian Times but because I want to have it displayed as an option.
great idea to test search engines with “Russian Times!” Here are my “test” results using Russian Times:
When I hit the link https://brave.com/, it tells me cannot connect to the App Store? I am almost completely computer illiterate but would like to replace DuckDuckGo with Brave. Any really simple instructions that I might be able to understand? Thank you!
It’s not so much an app as it is a website, although there is an app available. I suggest going to search.brave.com and then bookmarking that page so you can call it up whenever you need it.
Thank you Jeff!
You are an exact twin to me ..My exact path, exact choices. Been using Brave browser for 6 years, just adopted the SEARCH as well.
I loved what Eich did, after the woke FF crapped on him. …Never missed a beat, just made a new, excellent browser & search. True to his genius.
I use the Brave browser, but had been using DDG. So much for them.
I agree. Switched!
I just went to TGP where they say they have been cancelled out by DuckDuck…so I tried it because DuckDuck is what I am using and I had no trouble getting to the site. What I had noticed is that they eliminated TGP from my history so when I start typing it in, I do get The Conservative Treehouse that I can select but I have to put in the full name of TGP to get there.
Also, if you just search in for gateway pundit, no The, what will come up is page 2 and just click on page 2, then click on Home…
If you have GP in your search history, you’ll still get it. Otherwise it will no longer show up.
Well it ‘s in mine, no way it could not be as the only two sites I go to every day is here and TGF, and it does not come up.
How much longer do you think before America is near total destruction? The WEF is creating one major crisis after another, faster and faster. They are ruthless and now doing it in plain sight for the world to see! Super duper scary how a tsunami of truth will make them react and how? With Nukes? No I don’t believe this is in their plans. Release a anthrax or Black Plague virus? A financial collapse? A global depression? A power grid shutdown? Will Biden Create a communist-illegal-alien army to round up all Patriots and put us in their gulags? Who knows but WEF has a list of crises to create and following it diligently.
I don’t think we will survive another year with the multinationals at the world helm. I believe “we the people”, will be forced to fight for our lives when the multinationals, for example, they sell the US food supply to the highest bidder, creating a food crisis. They want good Americans destroyed ASAP so they say “let’s starve Americans to death”! Or create any of the above new crises I stated above. Hopefully “we the people” stand up and fight before they execute their next major crisis in the plan to destroy America.
What major crisis will WEF create next and when will it happen? Any ideas?
WEF says to beware of a cyber pandemic– so I guess that’s next
The wisest person I have listened to lately is the 27 year old kid WFF fighter who said in an interview with Tucker, they’re ( some of them,e tc) are making a lot of money destroying our country and if you cannot see it you are blind.
I’m thinking an EMP.
Destroys the population but leaves the infrastructure intact.
That Duck’s goose is cooked!
Yup!
Idiots!!
Dead duck.
That’s exactly right. The people who use DuckDuckGo are the ones who don’t want someone else deciding what they are allowed to see.
