Since DuckDuckGo has decided to regionalize all my search results even when no region is selected (why?!? 😩),

Making my work impossible (I don't spend my day writing about Canada DuckDuckGo! 🙄),

I have started to use @Mojeek and I must say that it is a real joy. I find what I'm looking for much quicker, no patronizing regionalization based on IP, and no AI pollution. It feels like I found back the 2010s web and I'm here for it.

Thank you Mojeek 💚

@Em0nM4stodon @Mojeek - DDG and Google both based in the US. In this day and age, that should be enough of a reason not to use them - while DDG's 'privacy' only going as far as the government allows it. Will look at Mojeek, but currently using EU-based (where privacy and security laws are so much tighter) Startpage. Really, any EU-based product is an improvement.

@bazcook @Em0nM4stodon @Mojeek Same. Using Startpage and it works reasonably well

@Mojeek @bazcook @Em0nM4stodon Thanks for the note. Will look further into that and explore your SE.
