Google has been compromised for so long, and now duck duck go is also over taken. Where do we, as regular internet users go for real info? I’m just trying to verify the Q drops post and every step I get an internet obstacle. It’s honestly frustrating but also very telling that info related to the drops is stifled.

Duck duck go fell long ago, so long ago it feels like a different age.
Yandex is good.
👆 Its the only one I feel isn't completely cucked.
Anyone remember (showing my age 👀) the golden years of the internet back in the late 90's? It was before the cabal took an interest in it. Or at least before they started controlling it.
It was probably 3% the size it is today, but there was SOOOO much more useful information on it. You could find a wealth of opinions on any subject.
Search engines were merely indexes of everything. There was no ranking, manipulation, hiding, etc. And you could use real search terms and boolean logic to fine tune your search.
I remember when we had to use different search engine for different things. Infoseek, Altavista, Lycos, Excite, and even AskJeeves, before Google came in and bulldozed everything.
Internet was a DARPA project. There was never a time they did not take interest in it. They created it.
Absolutely. I feel bad for anyone that didn't get to experience it. Completely different experience back then. Complete freedom and raw innovation.
Re: DARAP: Fair point. I guess it depends on whether you think the military was compromised then. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.
ARPAnet became DARPAnet.

Ah, 486's...
With a math co-processor, unless you were a loser. 🙄
Duck Duck Go could be the stupidest example of branding ever witnessed since the dawn of branding. How did that meeting go...
Hey guys I got a great name for our new search engine!
It's got not one, but TWO K sounds and a hard G, so it just trips off the tongue...
...and it's not one, not two, but THREE words! Great for a new brand, right?? (Heck, maybe we could go for four or five!)
PLUS!! "Duck Duck Go" is not only an utterly meaningless phrase to the great majority of people, so they'll EASILY remember it....
...it's also impossible to use as a verb, like google or bing! Whaddyathink? Hah? HAH????
Who do I gotta BLOW around here to get my way??
never thought of it that way…but have to ask; didn’t you ever play duck duck goose?;) think the name is referring to the game…
Nope, haven't played it
Never heard of it til the search engine
Even if I had, it doesn't work as a brand name ;p
