History[edit | edit source]
DuckDuckGo was founded in 2008 as a privacy-focused competitor to popular search engines such as Google Search. For a time it maintained a reputation helping to circumvent censorship, but following the 2022 Russo-Ukraine conflict, DuckDuckGo violated its public posture of neutrality and began censoring Russian news outlets.[7][5]
In response, Brave Search and Presearch announced that they will refuse to censor search results.[8]
