    DDG is more of a privacy frontend for Bing then its own search engine. Typically if its not on Bing its not gonna be on DDG.

    Works on both Brave and Google via Mullvad Leta

    Is it a surprise? Bing is controlled by M$, and their search results are taken by Qwant and DDG. Ecosia also runs with google results so it isn’t affected.

      Jokes on you, i tried using qwant and they just straight up deny me access because using a VPN apparently is “suspicious”.

      Kagi. Privacy focussed, no ads, and excellent results with options for sorting preferred sources to appear at the top, or not. Costs money but man, it’s fast and good in the way Google was back in the day. Some plans also include anonymous access to a variety of LLMs though they are older models, and if they can run them locally, they do. Really liking it.

        FWIW the founder of Kagi is adamant that subscribers must accept part of the subscruption money being sent to Russia (Yandex, fully govt-controlled) and has refused all attempts at excluding it. When questions started appearing he even tried claiming Yandex isn’t even russian.

          I mean yeah, this is a screenshot of the search results. It is weird that there is a reddit post asking to see the opposite above the desired page which just needed the TLD added. But still, the page in question is in the search results.

          Not sure why I got a downvote, but I don’t mind being unpopular.

            In context it felt like a rebuttal, but with the link clearly shown. Maybe a comment to help clarify next time?

            For the record, I deprioritize reddit so the actual link is on top for me.

              This is the problem with social media, especially Lemmy and Reddit. It is the default stance to assume a neutral comment is hostile. Why do we all argue so much? I’ve been there, but I’m trying to be kinder online. I think it’s a systemic problem and I don’t know the solution.

    Context is needed. What is that site? And why do you believe search results about it are being censored?

      To be fair, SearXNG still queries DuckDuckGo, QWant an Bing by default, I suspect Google does the same thing so Startpage would be out as well.

        You people are annoying as fuck. Just stick with Google/Bing (USA, lol) or their surrogates (DDG, Qwant…) then, and keep complaining about not finding piracy-related results.

          I haven’t ever complained about not getting piracy results because I don’t use search engines for that (there are some piracy indexes that work just as well)

          I may as well try Yandex for piracy, because USA has been as bad if not worse than Russia against Europe. This is basically choosing the lesser evil.
