Stupid vs Treacherous Scripting

Well ... I've been mulling over the proclivities of a few search engines of late.

I'm sorry to say that the impressions I've been left with aren't too thrilling.

The sum total of my experiences leave me wanting to bludgeon the back stabbing duckduckgo which claims not to be 'tracking' anyone when in fact it sets cookies for other search engines to exploit; IMHO likely for remuneration.

Then you have the absolute stupidity of bing viz a viz google which is actually a nice piece of work were it not for the background manipulation it does to the user.

So your choices are pretty much endure stupidity and/or be manipulated by search engines out to prey on the uninitiated in an effort to formulate your opinions for you.

Personally, I'm one to type directly into the address bar and I am no fan of the alleged 'default' search engine.

alleged lemmings   
I do not require anyone's research and care not for those attempts, surreptitiously or otherwise to direct my opinions nor my interests in any direction other than those derived from my own life's experiences and background study.

I'm glad I never was one to be a lemming or worse ...

some pied piper rat I encounter so frequently these days.

The search engines only go so far with me because they have simply become untrustworthy.
