I stopped using duckduckgo about a year ago when I discovered their Biden bias compared to Qwant. Qwant seems to be increasingly censored as well though, and they have bugs with using them when your IP appears to be another country, but you still want results in English. After watching this video we're actually trying all three search engines mentioned. I'm using Presearch on Tor, Brave search on Brave, and set my wife up with SearX on her iphone. So far liking the results, but just started evaluating, so jury is still out.

Brave been good to me lately. Search engines are pretty easy to check, just look at opinions that our government doesnt like and see if you can find them on the search engine.

Yep, when I got rid of duckduckgo it was election season, and Qwant was not censoring Biden pedophile results. Now I search Ukraine. Whatever the latest psyop is, use that to check for any bias.

I'm also looking for a new mapping service. I don't use Google anything, and Bing maps just stopped working in both Brave and Safari on my laptop for some reason.

Yandex maps is not great, but functional.

mapquest still works, that's the one I usually go with. Lots of adds though.

Thanks @NuttBoxer

https://www.mapquest.com/?source=patrick.net works great! That will be my mapping service now.

Interesting assessment of search engines. Trying out Mojeek, and if you search heavily censored topics like pedophilia, seems to offer a lot of results.

So tried searching for republic services yuma, and got nothing useful. Wouldn't rely on Mojeek full time, but for censored topics, I think it has promise.

Brave has been giving very curated-seeming results for controversial topics.

True, lately I find myself annoyed at the censorship on Brave and searching Yandex instead - and then finding what I was looking for.

Moving to Yandex. Presearch has started adding these annoying sponsor links that redirect you to marketing pages instead of the actual link shown. Seems like they have some agreement with Nord, because those are the only results I get. Really annoying. Also they've started adding this car route test every time I search after opening the browser(I always clear everything on close).

Yandex seems more polished than Mojeek.

If you look at that search comparison page, most of them use either google or bing for their results. Yandex is one of the exceptions along with Mojeek.
