    Yandex is the worst alternative you could pick. https://www.protocol.com/policy/yandex-gershenzon-qa https://www.protocol.com/policy/yandex-gershenzon-qa

      “…tech giant Yandex has a handshake deal with government authorities to limit what news outlets the site will pull onto its homepage” wow that sounds so incredibly different from the alternatives

        Makes one wonder, however, what other 'handshake deals' with autocratic government there are.

          Yeah. I'm sure Russia is the only place where the telecom, tech and news sectors have quid pro quos with the organs of state. [1] https://www.wired.com/2006/05/att-whistle-blowers-evidence/ https://www.wired.com/2006/05/att-whistle-blowers-evidence/

            The difference is that I have no control what Russia does with my information but I have some control over what my country is doing with it.

              Do you really? The likelihood of legislation passing in the US is totally independent of how popular it is.

        All kinds of info/website are also censored in Russia. They censor anything that could be taken as against the Duma-Putin.

  Brave has a new search engine.

    I’ve been using this as it came as the default for a new Brave install I got. I’m oscillating between it and Google: the former because I don’t want to continue to give Google all this free data, the latter because Google’s results are good (or at least reliably what I expect) Braves search is still kind of meh, but I appreciate that they’re trying.
