DDG has been de-listing a ton of stuff recently. They recently de-listed rdrama, a reddit-trolling website that came up on HN last year. What, exactly, do they think people use them for? If I wanted "result curation" or whatever euphemism for censorship, I would just use Google.

All of the major search engines have been doing massive amounts of culling lately. There is so much weird fetish stuff from the 2000s that I can no longer find any evidence of searching directly instead of going some weird convoluted route. Iβve even resorted to using yandex.

How is Yandex? I heard they have some pretty good AI involved in the back end of that search engine. Do they delist anything critical of the Russian powers-that-be the same way our search engines delist criticism of our own oligarchs, or is it pretty much a free-for-all?

Itβs like Bing before they gave up at the only thing they were good at and stopped showing porn results.
I donβt know about delisting, but they definitely give different results than the other search engines.

idk about regular search but their reverse image search is so good google doesn't even come close
it's russian though so i imagine they delist everything roskomnadzor tells them to

Their reverse image search is great for faces. I think facial recognition was disabled at one point in google image search.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
yeah but also with other images i find
like some art against a black background it'll separate the art and find the original despite the background there being white
also deals better with crops and mirrored images
google usually only finds shit if it's the exact same or very similar, just a different resolution

Thanks, if the regular search engines keep playing nanny state and delisting things I may give Yandex a try. I'll have to be skeptical about anything Kremlin-related but at least I know in what specific direction their bias lies.

Lol Yandex reverse image search is dogshit.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
in my experience it's been able to do a much better job separating the subject and find the source, also the whole lack of privacy regulations meaning they use facial recognition
then again i've only used it once google failed so that's probably a bias lol

I've never had much luck with it but IMO reverse image searches in general tend to be fairly useless.

It's actually pretty good. Only thing I don't like about it is that some sites you visit through it thinks you are from Russia - which either gets you shitty cyrillic, or just outright blacklisted like for CrunchyRoll.
Also no calculator like with google
