Since we can't trust ANY search engine to not push agendas, I now get my information from a 1988 edition Funk and Wagnalls encyclopedia set. It's how I found out this whole Russia/Ukraine thing is complete bullshit; they're not even real countries!

I switched from ddg to Brave yesterday, wtf??

I am currently using Qwant.com. They are limited by both French and EU laws, but they do bitch about this forced limitation when it happens. Their heart is in the right place. Some people enjoy Russian Yandex.com. There seems to be a benefit to using other nation's search engines as what they want to censor is want is going on in their own country or region and not yours.

Any other recommendations?

I use a combo of Searx and Yandex.

I don't search the same way others do. I scrape data and maintain my own searches.

What proof is there that this is true?

I don't understand why you couldn't find the top Google result, but here...

That's 2017 before Brave Search even existed. Brave Search came out 2021.

Just because I post something, doesn't mean I endorse it, necessarily. It's part of a conversation that is bigger. Generally, I'm looking for what is being censored at any given moment.

So... if you have evidence, one way or the other, feel free to contribute.

If you want information spoon fed to you by shills, reddit might be more for you.

Brave Search... under the umbrella of Brave... is partnered with Duck Duck Go.

Now, that's a fucking fact.

Duck Duck Go has recently gone full woke.

The implication is that Brave will be tainted by its partnership with Duck Duck Go, which has factually and admittedly started censoring search results.

So... I'd recommend investigating and comparing search results, using them both independently of each other.

Prima facie, there is a partnership and it is troubling.

Feel free to contribute useful information, at any point.

I don't think this is true.

If you search for "Stormfront":

In search.brave.com, the 4th search result link is Stormfront.org

https://search.brave.com/search?q=stormfront

In duckduckgo.com, there are no search result links to Stormfront.org

Brave search was never good. I'm not savvy enough to know why, but it gets really confused with certain queries and will spit out gibberish sometimes. I tried using it for a while but I find myself going back to DDG pretty often.

My search results for brave and DDG aren't the same for what it is worth.
