    Particularly to Trump supporters: what do you have as a browser homepage?

    Mine is the www.drudgereport.com. So much on this page has informed by political opinions & beliefs for about 20 years or so.

    But Drudge appears to have joined the "never Trump" Left. I'd like to change it to something that better reflects and supports my America First political opinions & beliefs.

    What is you homepage for your browser?

    Mine is the flip side of the Drudge Report, it's called the "Drudge Retort" at www.drudge.com

    You would like the drudge report now. Should give it a try. A collection of Trump hate stories for your enjoyment.

    Speaking of drudge, I started tuning out about the time covid started popping up in most major U.S. cites. Drudge turned into fear monger central. And yes, it's also become curiously anti-Trump.

    Paul Joseph Watson just did a video about it -

    I got to see this and that it is even a part of the conversation let me know it was not just my imagination. So, just set duckduckgo as my homepage. I checked out www.drudge.com . Meh.
    My fear? Isn't duckduckgo just Google search with some privacy?

    Yeah it's basically just a search engine, but seems to actually follow the "don't be evil" motto of google. They donate a lot to net privacy orgs and causes, for example.

    My default page is the Current Events section of this site. I don’t even use my own Photoshop website which I just started.

    It looks like you're searching for confirmation bias. As much as the right pummels the left about this, I thank you for going on record. At least you're being honest.

    Google search for 10 years, then duckduck for 3 months, went back to google because despite its issues it's still a better search engine

    I use the current events page because when I open my browser and there's anything happening in the world, it will be posted there with both the left and right adding their thoughts.

    The right does not have the Left's control of legacy media, our educational institutions, tech giants or deep state. If we want to be able to find justification for our views, we have to actually look for it as we won't be inundated the way the left is with elites trying to convince them to allow the USA to be hollowed out and turned into an authoritarian 3rd world impoverished hell scape.

    I never said both sides don't do it. I just think it's the wrong way to acquire information, and it's the right who accuses the left of this, from what I've seen.

    Go for it. Like I said, I appreciate your honesty.

    I cannot help but "acquire" information from the opposition. I'm inundated with it. I do think one should seek varying opinions if for no other reason than to politically inoculate oneself. For instance, while I'm opposed to their views, I am subscribed and often listen to "Feminist Frequency". One does need to pay attention to the opposition in order to understand them and why you agree or not with them. But I don't think you are acknowledging that one has to actually seek out right wing views as the right simply does not have the foot hold in the the areas I referenced earlier. This is not apples to apples as you might like.

    I'll admit, occasionally I open google if I'm not satisfied with the DDG results, pretty rare occurence though.

    I and issues in more specific and technical areas then new itself.

    I was looking up the socket size for a flywheel nut on an old Sea-Doo.
    Ddg = strikeout. Google = 2nd link.

    I hit a few brick walls with that stuff, and said screw it, let them spy.
