Nope. . . Duck, Duck, Go still sucks
Allan:
This guy seems to think all these search engines are much better than google. Do you have any update on your original search engine test?
thanks for doing that. I am using Yandex, but that sometimes has limitations.

Thank you for sending that. There is one listed there that I haven't tried yet. The rest are rubbish when it comes to censorship. Duck Duck Go is better than Google when it comes to not tracking, but honestly, that's not what a truth-seeker is looking for in an era when you doctor feeding you misinformation can kill you.
I'm happy Duck Duck Go doesn't track as badly as the others, but that's as useless to most people as a browser that gives you the worst medical advice, the worst child-rearing advice, the worst relationship advice, the worst spiritual advice, the worst --- just fill in the blank. Do you know why it is as bad as that? Because that is exactly what Duck Duck Go is.
Use Duck Duck Go if you want medical advice from Anthony Fauci, child rearing advice from a teachers' union, and relationship advice from some miserable thrice divorced feminist.
In the article you sent me, the argument comes at it from a market share perspective, rather than from the perspective of the technology being superior or the search results being anything more than the most disgusting garbage a culture can possibly produce.
Google isn’t evil because it has market share. Duck Duck Go isn’t good because it doesn’t have market share. With that said, you can imagine why I don’t appreciate this man’s approach. It is vapid and misses the point. Noise, not signal.
After reading this article you've sent, I think my recommendations in my 25 page report "2 Search Engines That Don’t Suck and 11 That Do" remain pretty solid.
For those who haven't read it (especially those misguided folks who think Duck, Duck, Go is a good search engine) you can get it at realstevo.com/search or by texting the word TRUTH to 33777 from a US cell phone to be all savvy, cool, and techie as you do an end-run around the usual big tech censors.
