Google needs to be stomped, like the domestic enemy it is.
I didn’t know dogpile was still around. I’ll have to check them out.
Wow. I had forgotten about them. I just typed "dogpile search engine" into Goodsearch (it's powered by Yahoo). I had to scroll down to the seventh result before I got to the actual Dogpile web address. As you and others have stated, several search engines show us what THEY want us to see, not what we asked for.
I like duckduckgo as you do. Will have to try dogpile again.
Real FReepers don't Google.
DDG is my default browser in Brave. Alas, it often does not make the result I want or know is out there. I then go to Safari with Google and my get the item I’m looking for at or near the top. These are non-political searches.
I followed your suggestion. Now I am very upset. The arrogence made my blood boil.
DuckDuckGo returned 2 paid ads and some images before amazon, which is apparently unpaid.
“Google needs to be stomped, like the domestic enemy it is.”
Just stop using it. Use DuckDuckGo. Make your browser default to it. It works great. In a couple of days you won’t even notice that you changed.
I tried “Hunter Biden” in DDG. A couple of images, wikipedia, and then nypost.
Very interesting. I just checked this, searching Google for Breitbart's article, Exclusive — Bevan Cooney Moved from Prison Cell after Providing Email Account Exposing Hunter Biden. I have my Google search set to return 50 results, and just as you said, Breitbart is nowhere listed in the results for me, although some sites referencing it are, while the top result is a You Tube video attempting to debunk the claim.
On the other hand Bing lists it as the top result, followed by others referencing it, and with the opposing vid being the 13th result.
Of-course, I found that I can also Google a unique title from my own site "HOMOSEXUALITY and the BIBLE (Walter Wink refuted)" which (without quotes) Google lists below 26 pages (pro and con) from other sites which do not have that title (nor anything from my site), and searching for that in quotes does not provide that specific page at all, though the main page on that subject (Homosexual relations and the Bible) from my site is listed out of the 5 (total) it does provide.
Bing does no better, although for the search in quotes Bing lists the main page on that subject page from my site at the top (with a copy of someone posted on , followed by those from others, but reduces the number of results to 5 on the first page, and then 3 on the next pages.
Google is an extortion racket. Pure mafia, only a google times more profitable.
I used to get better results from gofer.
Well; back in the day; the librarian behind the desk kept information about ‘bad books’ away from the kids that were wanting to see the dirty words.
It’s ALL for our own ‘good’; you know.
