Sorry if this is in the wrong place. In lieu of the Homeless Thread subforum, I wasn't sure where else this might fit.
DISCLAIMER: People hear "deep web" and immediately think the darknet and its markets. That is not what I'm referring to here.
For those who don't know, read on. For those that do, skip to the last paragraph.
The deep web exists within the clearnet or "surface web." However, since the whole of search engines are owned by like.. three dudes; they have a lot of control over what gets pulled for a search query. Suffice it to say that money speaks -- as Google users now scroll an average of 55% down the first page of their search results in order to reach the first non-sponsored result. "Deep web" refers to clearnet sites you must be invited to, or must already know about and type into your query, such as Bluelight, Drugs-Forum, and Erowid (though it didn't used to be this way). This includes the first-ever internet drug market as well as random school websites made by various students in computer-adjacent fields of study.
The deep web is estimated to make up at least 75% of the clearnet. I am seeking a browser that only provides search results that Google, Yahoo, Bing, and DuckDuckGo would not. Does such a thing exist? TOR, i2p, etc are not what I mean. I want to be able to utilize this service alongside my regular internet activity and without all the extra steps of separatist purism required to move from clearnet to darknet activity. Thanks!
I am seeking an in-browser, clearnet search engine. Thanks!
