I was watching the RFK Jr questioning today and when Bernie was talking about healthcare and wages I felt he was the only one who gave a real damn. I also thought “Wow he’s kinda old” so I asked my phone how old he actually was. Gemini however, wouldnt answer a simple, factual question about him. What the hell? (The answer is 83 years old btw, good luck america)

    DDG and Ecosia are proxies for Bing. I didn’t check, but I’m guessing the others are too. Most “independent” search engines are.

    The major exception is Startpage, which is a proxy for Google.

      Marginalia and Million Short have their own index as far as I know. Fireball is another one being independent from both Google and Bing.

        That one’s pretty obvious. From their main page:

        Startpage delivers Google search results via our proprietary personal data protection technology.
