Center-Right Search Engine, Google & Yahoo Free Speech Alternative Announced

Aug 1, 2023

Conservatives and those identifying as center-right now have access to a free speech-focused search engine that caters to their values.

Santa Barbara, United States - August 1, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Virtual World Computing, LLC, has announced the continued development of TUSK, which now features a built-in search engine with anti-censorship measures. The browser was conceived as an alternative to search engines like Google and Yahoo, which conservatives believe to be censoring search results.

TUSK’s search engine allows users to find information and access content without fear of censorship, particularly political content that is commonly inaccessible on most search engines.

“We believe that information should be freely available to anyone who seeks it,” the developers said. “No entity, whether it be from the government or any of these big tech companies, should be the arbiter of what people should know.”

According to the company, despite the browser’s news feed defaulting to news organizations that lean right, users are free to customize the news feed as they see fit. “This option is part of our commitment to censorship-free browsing. You’re free to read or view whatever you want,” the developers added.

Another notable feature of the search engine is its “bias filter,” which enables users to filter results according to their sources. For instance, by selecting “left,” TUSK will only show results from publications and organizations that identify as left-leaning.

Virtual World Computing further stated that it invested heavily in TUSK’s security features. It explained that despite being built using the Chromium codebase, TUSK was modified to prevent tracking, profiling, or monitoring by Google or other tracking entities on the web.

Moreover, because it shares similar code with Chrome, TUSK allows for the seamless installation of extensions available in the Chrome Web Store.

The browser, including all its built-in features, is free to use and can be downloaded on Android, iOS, macOS, or Windows platforms.

TUSK creator Virtual World Computing is an independent and privately held company spearheaded by founder and majority investor Jeff Bermant. A serial entrepreneur and anti-censorship advocate, Mr. Bermant’s involvement in browser development began with Cocoon, a browser that eschews private data collection.

Japan tame North Korea to win Games gold after shootout drama

JAPAN — Hosts Japan won their third straight Asian Games women's football gold on Friday, edging North Korea on penalties after a 2-2 draw in a dramatic final. Yuzuho Shiokoshi scored the decisive penalty as Japan, who reached the final without conceding a goal, won 5-3 in the shootout to claim the title for the fourth time. North Korea changed their goalkeeper in the final minute of extra time but it was not enough to give them their first gold since 2014. The hosts looked in full control when Mami Ueno gave them the lead in the 32nd minute in Shizuoka. But Jong Kum bundled in an equalizer two minutes into the second half that was eventually given after a VAR check, before Jon Ryong Jong put North Korea ahead in the 69th minute. Japan's Hanon Nishio equalized with four minutes left to send the game into extra time. The teams could not be separated and North Korea brought on substitute goalkeeper Chae Un Gyong to help their cause. Instead it was Japan goalkeeper Shu Ohba who was the hero, stopping Jong's penalty in the only miss of the shootout. North Korea were backed by groups of red-clad supporters among the crowd of over 6,000. Japan and North Korea went into the final having each scored 26 goals in the previous rounds. The two teams had also shared the previous six Asian Games titles, winning three each. Japan coach Michihisa Kano won his first title since replacing Greenland-born Nils Nielsen. Nielsen led Japan to the Asian Cup title in Australia in March but was fired 12 days later. North Korea were looking to extend their astonishing recent run of international success in women's football. They have won three world titles at age-group level in the last two years, and North Korean club Naegohyang Women's FC became Asian champions in May after a final tournament played in South Korea. Women's football is one of the strongest international sports for diplomatically isolated and impoverished North Korea, with their national sides regularly competing at the highest levels in Asia and globally.
