Would love to know the community’s thoughts. Personally, I don’t think this is a big deal - all search engines have to favour certain results over others… it’s the intrinsic state of a search engine - although I know some people are rather upset.

    I’ve switched temporarily to Brave now, but since Brave browser is pushing the "support Ukraine’ narrative, I’d guess they, too, could filter results. Most search engines use Google. Any tips on search engines not using Google?

        I use Firefox and I just do a Ctrl+mouseScrollUp or ctrl+= and it remembers the zoom for that website.
