From my understanding, the creation of the spike protein by the vaccine is temporary. Then the body will react defensively if it sees the real covid spike protein in the future.
The plan was for the vaccine created spike protein to remain local to the injection site. But they have discovered that it migrates into the blood stream. It's a crap shoot how much damage is caused throughout one's body for those few days. It would lead me to not want to get boosters.
All that said, this is just my opinion regarding my own body. I encourage everyone to do their own research. I don't want to discourage anyone from getting vaccinated. Its up to everyone to dig deep, and find other sources beyond Google.
This is a good search engine that shows unbiased results. Just an old school index.
It's worth checking out www.mojeek.com - It's completely independent because it has it's own index of web pages. It is unlike metasearch engines which use Bing results, like DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Yahoo. Qwant (english results) etc.
FTA, bold added:
The privacy-focused search engine Mojeek has indexed more than 4.5 billion pages. The alternative search engine is still growing and might one day be a worthy competitor to Google Search, which had indexed 130 trillion pages in 2016, according to the company’s blog titled “How Search Works.”
.
According to its website, Mojeek “was the first privacy respecting search engine and the only one that provides completely independent search results.”
.
Other smaller search engines have symbiotic relationships with Big Tech platforms. They do that to avoid the huge costs and the time-consuming process of crawling and indexing web pages, whose numbers increase every day. Mojeek is completely independent of Big Tech platforms.
They're great for privacy, but they get their results from Google. As is DDG, but they get their results from Bing and Yandex primarily. If you're looking for a unique source of information which doesn't come from a monopoly tech giant, I can vouch for www.mojeek.com (as a member of the team). Completely independent, a genuine alternative thats crawls and indexes the web and doesn't track you.
Mojeek CEO here. That's an excellent article. Thank you for sharing. I've bookmarked the podcast; to listen and will share with my colleagues and our designer. Because we don't track users, and avoid using analytics that would help us identify user demographics, we are unable to measure their experiences. Not that we wish too. We use, and value greatly, direct user feedback, suggestions and input. We are not driven by numbers and analytics like many tech companies.
We've been actively encouraging discussions with users; hence the "Talk to Us" link next to search results. I'd encourage you or any other women to contact us so we can get more input. We've also being doing UX interviews and welcome more people for that.
Please use this form: https://www.mojeek.com/about/contact?subject=talk+to+us&message=I%27d+like+to+talk+to+Mojeek if you or anybody can help us this way.
We look forward to hearing from anyone, in this thread, on how we can might or can reduce design bias that we no doubt will have. As you say we have full control of our UI. The timing would actually be great too; we are currently doing some new design work.
It's the same. All alternatives to major web search engines still use those engines as crawlers. It would be nearly impossible to develop a decent crawler from scratch nowadays while still preserving users' privacy.
The only one I know of is Mojeek.
If you want complete independence from Google or Bing, feel free to check out the search engine I work for - https://www.mojeek.com . It was built from scratch, and is completely independent with it's own index of web pages (now approximately 2.4 billion web pages) and is growing and growing. We were also the first search engine to not track those who use us. So not only is it private, it offers a genuine alternative source of information. This is something privacy orientated metasearch engines like DDG, Startpage, Qwant, SearX etc. can't do. It has the potential to go all the way!
Well you're right. Qwant and SwissCows use Bing, StartPage is a middle-man to Google, etc.
The only properly independent one I can think of is Mojeek - it has its own crawler, but the results are hit and miss.
I like that Mojeek is trying to create a new index, but I do have some concerns about its privacy policy. (I just learned about this from someone who pointed it out to me.)
There is a disclaimer in Mojeek's privacy policy that states:
>[1] Mojeek does make one exception to this rule, if a search query is deemed related to illegal and unethical practices relating to minors, then the full log including visiting IP address will be kept and gladly handed over to any official authorities that ask. If you're at all concerned about this exception then Mojeek is not the search engine for you.
I wonder how Mojeek is alerted to this "unethical" behavior. Is the search engine monitoring use or is the government overseeing searches somehow?
In case anyone comes across this with an interest in this parameter, it is now live.
To use it add "&lr=" with the two-letter code representing the language, such as: https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=hallo&lr=DE.
It's not infallible and Feedback reports are much appreciated.
That's great to hear; if anything else comes up then you can ping us here or https://www.mojeek.com/about/contact is also a great place to send support stuff :D
Hey, Mojeek team member here, we can't explain this on our side at all, there's nothing that has been implemented that would block this. We thought it would be a good idea to flag that in the preferences: https://www.mojeek.com/preferences?tab=search you can set open in a new tab to on. I understand that's not a full solution at all but I offer it up nevertheless. Thanks for your support.
Currently you can search using any of the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 two-letter country codes by adding ‘®=dk’ (for example) to the end of your URL e.g. https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=denmark&reg=dk.
We're looking to put more regions into the globe drop-down as an easier way of getting more countries than are there currently. You can also use eu to search for EU sites, and uk and gb codes will return the same results.
Edit: too many theres
I haven't personally had an interactions with Opera as a user, especially not since their recent... happenings, but we have a page on adding to browser Opera; phone I believe is much the same as Brave, it's difficult and costly to get on the shortlist, and we're more focussed on putting money into infrastructure and really jacking up the size of our index. I think this is the main response I would have to results limitations - it's a big piece of work to crawl and index the Web; Mojeek has managed to stay afloat by being very sensible with a limited budget. We've recently had a pretty big cash injection, and so we're going to be really padding out our infrastructure early next year. For me this means a visit to the datacenter and putting together servers with my colleagues, which rocks.
I work for a search engine which has its own index (www.mojeek.com/) and I think the issue you're facing here is that you like the ethics of DDG but don't find much utility in (mostly) Bing's results. You can get a good view of where results are coming from (as DDG is a metasearch/is pulling its results from elsewhere) on this resource we maintain: https://www.searchenginemap.com/ if you have an absolute need for Google's results then there are some options. I personally use a mix of search engines in order to improve my ability to find things on the Web.
I've been using duckduckgo exclusively for about 5 years now with the occasional google bang thrown in. It gets the job done.
Interesting engine I found earlier today was Mojeek. They state it doesn't track its users and is completely independent with its own algorithm and index. Haven't had the chance to try it out yet unfortunately.
As a member of the team, I thought I'd throw 'Mojeek' News into the mix. https://www.mojeek.com/news It's still relatively small at present, but we will gradually add more media outlets as we go, providing a more complete collection of publishers worldwide covering all topics. And as always with Mojeek, there's no tracking whatsoever - meaning no data extraction or being put into filter bubbles.
Nice work u/sb56637 , such a comprehensive article! As a member of the Mojeek team, just wanted to say thanks for checking us out and we'll certainly take your constructive feedback on board.
Although, just to let you know in the article you mentioned we lacked features such as 'date filters', but this actually is possible on Mojeek. It can be used when searching with the search operator 'since' e.g. 'since:month mojeek' retrieves results for the word 'mojeek' that were modified in the last month. Here's our Search Operators page, where you can find out more details on how this is done. Thanks again!
As a member of the team I recommend you checking out https://ww.mojeek.com . It's a crawler based search engine with its very own index of web pages, so it's not reliant on any other engine to produce its results (so we don't pass on any 2nd hand bias like metasearch engines DDG, Startpage etc. do). And overall it doesn't have an agenda because we believe it’s a search engine’s job to provide you with relevant search results, not to force a point of view on you.
Thanks! Well I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for, if privacy is important to you there’s always Startpage, DuckDuckGo, swisscows etc. Or some are dedicated to ethical causes like Everyclick who use advertising revenue to donate to charities or Ecosia who do the same to plant trees.
But most alternatives like these are actually just metasearch engines, meaning they use the results from other search engines, and are essentially a wrapper around what’s already out there. Such as DDG who mainly uses Bing, Startpage uses Google, Ecosia uses Bing etc. There are very few alternatives that actually crawl and index the web from scratch. But the search engine I work for does just that, which I highly recommend checking out if you have the chance. It’s called Mojeek, we’re an independent search engine that’s also doesn’t track those who use it. But most importantly we’re dedicated to providing a genuine alternative source of information, that doesn’t rely on the search technology of anyone else. Right now we have a 2.4 billion page index, and have plans to reach 4 billion in the next 10 months. Exciting times ahead! Feel free to get in touch to let us know what you think. Cheers.
We don't store any personal identifying information, so what data we have wouldn't be of much use them. For more details of our privacy policy head over to - https://www.mojeek.com/about/privacy.html
If you're looking for a genuine alternative I would recommend www.mojeek.com. It has its own algorithm and index of web pages, and it doesn't track its users -privacy policy . Most privacy search engines listed here aren't independent, they're metasearch engines which rely on another mainstream search engines' index, e.g. DuckDuckGo uses Bing and Yandex results, SearX uses Google and Bing, Startpage uses Google. So if you want to use/support a search engine which isn't reliant on a third party and potentially all the biases that come with them, then check out Mojeek. Full disclaimer, I do work for them, but I know for a fact that privacy is a core value that comes first always.
I can't speak for all alternative search engines, but representing Mojeek (the independent and privacy focused search engine), whether or not we compete with Google, we believe the search market is huge and having choices that take a different approach is always worthwhile and hopefully provides enough value for some people to continue aiming for that goal.
DDG, Startpage and Searx are good options. But feel free to check out Mojeek . It was the first search engine to state it doesn't track its users and is completely independent with it's own algorithm and index (this is unlike DDG who use Bing results, Startpage who use Google, and Searx who use Google and Bing).
Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Firefox and Waterfox are all good alternatives that are big on privacy. And if you've lost trust in DuckDuckGo, try www.mojeek.com - completely independent and doesn't track its users.
Worth checking out www.mojeek.com . It's an independent search engine, it doesn't track you and displays it's own unique and unbiased results. Others have mentioned DDG, they're great in regards to privacy, but they're a metasearch engine which uses Bing results. Mojeek is a crawler based search engine, which means it has it's own algorithm and indpendent index of web pages - it has what it takes to be a genuine alternative. (Full disclaimer, I work for Mojeek)

the normal search worked pretty well, but when i switched to images, things went downhill fast. https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=memes&fmt=images
At the very least, you can point people to your official privacy policy. Otherwise, demonstrate that the people running it have already proved trustworthy in other endeavors (if they have had a public persona before Mojeek), or get a trusted 3rd party to vouch for you. Or something, I don't know who you are and you are the one asking me to trust you.
Again, I'm not trying to be snarky, but I literally have no reason to trust you over anyone else online (except maybe the privacy policy that I had to go searching for myself).
It won't be. I just "Mojeeked" a company named Bodesi and the only result was a 404'd link to the old account log out page from 2014. Google, bing, and duckduckgo all have updated and accurate results for the same query. They also provide show the business location on a map, business hours, business info, reviews. I'm all for people building things, but your search engine is pretty useless in its current state. Hell, even your logo displays pixelated on any high res monitor.
