    Nailed it!

    For example, I searched "problems with the h0Ɩ0cαųst narrative" and obtained kosher tripe from every single "alternative" "uncensored" "private" search engine except from Yandex.

    Here are the screen captures:





    Amazing -- in light of Russia's h0Ɩ0cαųst denial law.

    • I was disappointed in YaCy since it has, on other occasions, been one of the best means of finding treif (non-kosher) results.

    So, the next experiment. Searching in English produced useful results, but searching the Russian equivalent "Проблемы рассказывания историй о Холокосте" returned kosher results. As Charity queries, the Russian h0Ɩ0cαųst denial laws???

    Well, I searched for "h0Ɩ0cαųst Hoax" and came up with some really good stuff :-)

    I also tried some of those other terms, and Yandex was the ONLY one that didn't bring up nothing but debunking nonsense.

    I normally try and avoid apps that say they openly track me. Do all the search engines do this then? I just started looking into these new search engines, and I am not very tech savvy..

    • That's why, at the very least, you use a VPN.

    Better still, spoof your MAC addresses, use the darknet.

    Yea, I tried Presearch and typed in "flat earth". It may as well have been Bing or Google.  I went to Yandex and several flat earth sites actually came up.  You just need the right tools for the right job.  Thanks flat earth.

    All these are garbage.  Search for

    1) plandemic
    2) COVID-19 vaccine injuries
    3) vaccines and autism
    4) Flat Earth
    5) h0Ɩ0cαųst (anything)

    ... all censored

    For #5 Brave puts up an ominoous message about "h0Ɩ0cαųst Denial"

    all of this is Jєω-controlled garbage

    Nevermind, I just now saw your subsequent posts regarding yandex which I echoed in like manner before editing here.

    Yes, yandex is the best search engine of which I know is available.

    Searx search engines are better.

    • I tried SearX and got kosher results. I suppose that other topics or text strings might obtain treif results.

    Your picture shows Google results in Searx. Searx is a meta search engine, so it includes more than just Google.

    Did a search again…



    I am interested if you get useful non-kosher results for the same text string search.

    I'm not getting that with the https://search.asynchronousexchange.com instance.

    • Somewhat related, as it's also 'misinformation' the site Be Free NYC who protest against the COVID mandate and related matters in New York are blocked on Brave browser which I still use for want of an alternative.
