TUSK is a new (at least to me) web browser with a default toward right leaning news content and no censorship of cpnservative content or websites. Great. Good to know. MSN Google and etc wear their leftism on their coat sleeves and you will, too. It's good to have a counterbalance, I guess... but could we get a browser with NO political bias, plz? https://tuskbrowser.com/I've downloaded it and will give it a try...

Good to know - thanks!
I'm using Brave right now. It's fine. No problems. But I don't have a strong attachment to it. Best thing is that it isn't in bed with Google that I know of.

I get not being in bed with Google, but do you really want to limit yourself to a browser that doesn't show you news from the "other side?" I want to know what they are saying too, otherwise is your head in the sand for opposing viewpoints by limiting yourself to only what you want to hear?

You can navigate where you want and still get your old news, however, tusk, like Brave, Dissenter, Tusk does not collect your personal data to sell, like Edge, Chrome, Safari do. Not on Linux though.

Browsers shouldn't be showing any news. They aren't search engines. Some of them have search engines built in but you shouldn't use the URL bar as your search engine. That's a very bad idea for thousands of reasons.

I use Brave and duck duck go for most browsing and searching. I use the googler if I want to know what the libs are reading.

It doesn't give you anything you can't do yourself. It just have a right leaning news feed. and of course it's just another browser using chromium. Sure it's open source, but it was developed by Google.
Why is your browser showing you news anyway? Just go to the new sources you like. Bookmark/favorite them.
You can also do things like run in incognito mode to avoid cookies being saved and a search engine that doesn't save information.
Or better, use Firefox or even better use Tor. Along with a search engine that doesn't save your searches. Though with Tor some sites won't work quite right.
Also ad blockers will stop almost all of the pop ups and ones like ghostery will also block most trackers.

Nothing is free…. They have ads on TV, on radio, online… that money comes from your data. Slightly encrypted, but instead of being known as WaGunsGuy you are known as Zdfor394$&, that fingerprint continues to track across the web.
