Why not? Diversify your techno-overlord portfolio beyond DARPA.

Also using yandex quite a bit. Especially around heavily censored topics like covid-19.

Can you give some examples of things you've been able to find out using Yandex that were censored on Google?

Try searching for "possible negative long term effect of mrna vaccines". Google will show lists of fact-check sites, WHO approved all pro-vaccine results. Yandex will show alternative sites like childrenshealthdefense.org, www.naturalnews.com with a contrarian view. I am not saying these are trustworthy sites but I want to see various viewpoints and not have the search engine be the judge. I think mRNA vaccines could be a game changer, but I also want an open discussion about the risks, especially long term, as in say negative effects on newborns from mRNA vaccinated woman.

Interesting. Didn’t think about that… are you not worried about things getting censored in the other direction?

Absolutely, always consider potential bias and motivation when searching and judging content. I probably censor search results myself in the form of selective link-result clicking and phrasing of search queries :-)

Isn't DDG somehow related to yandex, hence all the Cyrillic results?
