Nobody will tell you, but keep the best for the last I guess – Yandex. Russian, results reminiscent of old 2005 open internet, has no regard for US DMCA laws or western Atlantic Council censorship laws. Undisputed and incomparable for web results, reverse image search, videos, anything. Preferably use a VPN though to get more search results variety and for extra privacy. Its privacy is better than Google/Bing, but worse than DDG, but DDG has high censorship.
Do Russia have some fuck up law like USA that the government can access the data of Russian's companies?
Probably but I have seen Yandex Disk being one of the main choices among pirate uploaders and game level creators, among other kinds of unusual people. You can use Yandex searching without an account, so I doubt it matters. And Yandex does not go around trying to track you outside of few Russian internet websites, from my observations, and its tracking is mostly limited to ad clicks and basic website counter.
You can use Yandex with any VPN and enjoy its fruits with zero consequences.
Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna give it a try
You posted content from RSF, which is a CIA propaganda outlet.
Navalny was trashed by about 70% of Russian citizens in a mayor election. His approval rate was absymal, and he was only propped up by western countries to create infighting in Russia. This has been NATO's motive ever since it was formed.
You trust Google a lot, looking at your trust in Graphene and other stuff. Are you a western liberal by any chance? Because there is zero reason to trust western media that loves Zionism and genocide. On the other hand, west keeps lying about Russia and China doing genocides.
Also, if you are posting western propaganda outlets like NYT, The Verge et al, I should also be able to post Russian sources on western propaganda. But you will claim it is "Kremlin" stuff and claim it is invalid, like you are saying about Yandex.
DDG uses Bing's index and shows western propaganda results.
You are trying to poke the bear, and seem more suited to Reddit than Lemmy.
I would not use anything in Russia as Russia isn't a democracy and does not allow freedom of the press
...while protecting the president of Freedom of The Press, as he stays away from US gov dictatorship assassins?
The world is truly bazaar
