I tend to use the GOOGLE search engine about 10 times per day - for various reasons. Lately I have found some Google search results to be quite 'partisan' and somewhat biased. Esp for news, articles, and current events topics.

So I researched other SEARCH ENGINES and came upon alternatives. Checked out DUCKDUCKGO. Used last 3 days and find it to be very fair impartial "results", quick, and displays (esp videos and images) nicely.

Thanks. I’ve just downloaded the App to give it a try. I’ve seen it praised a number of times in Consumer Reports, but I’d never tried it. So far as I can tell with five minutes of use, one big difference is that instead of having a tool bar across the top with tabs for everything I’ve looked at and left but not closed, there’s a little box at bottom right of the screen with numbers in it for each open tab. I click on that and get a list of what is open. That will take a bit of getting used to.
