Sorry but these "fact checkers" are on the take here (SOROS paid).

Have attended several privacy seminars that say otherwise who agree there was the sell out.

Aside have been computing since Mainframe IBM and punchcard days, MS Level Instructor Tertiary as well as Tier 2 Tech Experience.

DDG unfortunately has sold out.

I regret this terribly ... used to recommend it.

Stick with Brave Search Engine.

There are a few others that are Open Source but Brave is the option of choice to avoid tracking.
