I recommend a search option of, essentially, "everything banned or put at the bottom of the list by Google." I think this would be an extremely effective search technique for anything related to COVID, politics, current events, China . . .
Seriously, please consider.
Doing it!
Well since my shop and website are cockblocked with regard to google ads I looked into advertising with ddg and apparently they do that through BING which is Microsoft.
Ugh. Hope someone out there is making an independent search engine. I guess there's always.
