Think I'm gonna be switching to Yandex from now on
(hexbear.net)
Yandex is fantastic for piracy.
Don't tell the other instances but I've noticed that it indexes Hexbear and I've seen Hexbear appear surprisingly high up in search results in Yandex lmao
It's our reward for shilling for Russia so faithfully. 
A Yandex higher-up is a Pissraeli, though.
Is a person's nationality an issue?
It's their opinion on issues that matter, right?
Or is their opinion bad?
Considering that he was born in the USSR but immigrated to Israel later in life, yes it does matter that he is Israeli. He is of the opinion that it's good to settle in a country that floats on top of Palestinian blood.
Wait, 'he'?
Haha. There are multiple Yandex higher-ups who moved to Pissrael, then.
At the very least there are Arkady Volozh and Elena Bunina. Both are/were CEOs of Yandex.
I just googled who the CEO was and volozh popped up. didn't know about the other one
She literally moved to Pissrael because she '[didn't] want to live under a state that exhibits aggression to its neighbours'.
Do I need to remind you that Pissrael is a genocidal settler-colonial project founded on mass displacement, killing, and torture of indigenous people, and where the genocide is happening very visibly and actively right now?
duckduckgo uses the bing engine, it tends to suck a lot with detailed search results on anything
Yes. It also has been shown that it uses Microsoft trackers making it a total lie that it's respectful of its user's privacy. On top of that they openly stated that they would be censoring (by deprioritization, so they say) any sites associated with "Russian disinformation." And we all know what that means. And really it just plain sucks in terms of how well it works to serve you with results you're looking for.
Duckduckgo is a bad search engine. There are plenty of other good options without having to return to google. Examples: Brave seems to be pretty good and uses their own engine while Searx (searxng) is awesome ime and aggregates from a bunch of other engines.

History doesn't repeat but it sure as hell rhymes. There was a time in internet history, pre-Google dominance, when the advent of search aggregators ruled the internet landscape.
Didn't know that, just thought it was interesting it produced nothing while Yandex provided pages of fucked up shit Zionists have said or done.
i also bet that the bing engine is specifically manipulated to hide anti-western narratives and their crimes
I tried this search on another bing search engine (ecosia) and my first hit was a success. same with bing itself!
on duckduckgo, I can confirm the op's results. Nothing.
israeli oct 7th documenteary claims "10 year old" killed 50 adults
I switched off Duck Duck Go when the Ukraine war started and they proudly began censoring Russian websites. (Tweet, lib news). If they're gonna do that what's the point in using them over Google or Bing? Plus they were advertising on the local radio in my tiny shithole town, which seemed like a red flag for a "less corporate" search engine.
Yandex has been good, mostly glad that it seems better at including the more niche keywords I search instead of ignoring them like Google does
Hamas's weakest soldier apparently
He has been extensively trained in countering krav maga, which is centered on "What if I shoot someone while they're trying to disable me by punching my elbow."
TIL that is the claim by Israel
There was a recent Chapo episode riffing on it. "This is the most badass 10 year old I've ever heard of."
Video in case anyone wants to hear about how a 10 year old definitely wiped out an entire crowd of innocent settlers.
I laughed at the absurdity of the first result then wanted to cry at the rest
mixed results for my first try lol, I wouldnt dismiss yandex bc of that, just noting it
kids rock
I find Yandex to be useful for some topics, but not great at others, similar to Bing and Google.
Yandex is good for escaping Western imperial news and for piracy.
Google is better for scientific research (not in general, just compared to these other two sites and definitely worse than the sites directly meant to search for publications).
Bing is...just different from Google. I guess it's easier to escape the sponsored posts.
