such that nonsensical = offensive

I've used DuckDuckGo for years. Only very rarely do I use Google for something that is truly obscure.

Also, look into using TOR as much as possible.

You mean Google's chrome as the browser as opposed to Google search? You probably can't change the browser you use at the library unless something else is already installed. Both the Google Chrome browser and Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser (now "Edge" on Windows 10) are not good for privacy. Compared to those two Firefox is much better for privacy if it's installed there.

But whatever browser you can select you can use any search engine from any browser. The browser will have a default search window, which may or may not allow changing the search engine there, but you can type the url of another search engine just like any web page.

StartPage https://www.startpage.com
DuckDuckGo https://duckduckgo.com
Bing http://www.bing.com
Google https://www.google.com

Maybe it was Internet Explorer; a long time ago the library switched to Google.

If you mean Internet Explorer, that's a browser, not a search engine. You can use any search service from any browser, though different browsers may be set up with different default search engines. Microsoft built the Bing search engine and likes to set that as the default.

I used to use Explorer. Maybe I'll look and see if I can use it again.

You can use the "slimjet" browser based on google chrome but which is more private than chrome http://www.slimjet.com/

The latest slimjet version you can use with XP is 10.0.13.0, based on Chromium 50.0.2661.75.

The latest firefox version that runs on XP is 52.9.0.

Google owns android and routinely sends information from your phone back to the home planet no matter what apps you use. If you use a google app, such as google maps, on an i-phone, google uses that to collect data on you.

You can enter the url for any search engine to go to its home page and then use it to search. Google is still the best overall search engine, which is why it is so popular, but no search engine is best at everything, and if you find misleading results use another one. Google is also notorious for its surveillance of everything you use, tying it all together in data bases.

In a postmodern world, black could be white or a circle could be a square, if you felt it would give you more power.

Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?

Google is the company that this public library has on these computers.

Oh, of course, Prager and Schapiro are Nazis, aren't they? Isn't it obvious?--Come on, they're both Jews, aren't they?

The Google AI often does not seem to be very intelligent. Likely by design since AIs are built by people with biases.

I just googled patriot synonym and that popped up front and center.
synonym is a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another lexeme (word or phrase) in the same language.

By definition the list is wrong. Loyalist and Xenophobe are not even close.
a person who is loyal; a supporter of the sovereign or of the existing government, especially in time of revolt.
(sometimes initial capital letter) a person who remained loyal to the British during the American Revolution; Tory.
(initial capital letter) an adherent of the republic during the Spanish Civil War, opposed to Franco.

xen·o·phobe
/ˈzenəˌfōb,ˈzēnəˌfōb/
noun
a person having a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.

Firefox is the only browser I use. It still works with my OLD computer using WindowsXP. I spend time in Florida, (my home) and Georgia(girlfriends home). Currently in Georgia on the OLD computer.

Of the eight: loyalist is a positive definition, nationalist is neutral, the other six are derogatory.
This would be yet another example of setting up algorithms with clear political bias.
But was that list from G itself or from some site they selected?

Calling Ben Shapiro a Nazi is almost as nonsensical as calling Candace Owens a white supremacist.

No real surprise here but it does show how utterly divorced Google management is from anything resembling human decency.

I have abandoned use of Google's search engine, but weaning myself entirely off Youtube, Blogger, and even Google Maps is much more difficult. And then there's Android, to which the only real alternative, Apple, is worse than Google.

Still, it looks like the good guys are winning the deplatforming conflict, at least for now.

I can't stop giggling at the comment that called Prager a statist. That's almost as funny as calling a Jew a Nazi.

So far so good with DuckDuckGo for me.

I've recently deleted Google and added DuckDuckGo as my search engine. I've been impressed with what I've read about it. We'll see how it works out.

That they prefer Firefox is a point up for them in my book.

The Nazis definitely began as a power hungry by any means revolution of a socialist workers political party looking for people to blame and hurt.

I do all my searches now on a site called yippy. Says it is powered by IBM Watson. So far so good. www.yippy.com.
My cell phone is an LG android based. All the searches there are google. I do not use it. Soon as I can economically transfer, I am going to a jitterbug.

I don't use Google at all. Google kind of reminds me of Ayn Rand's "Anthem" the Council of Vocations besides George Orwell's 1984. After watching the video Google should be dismantled because of national security. I believe Google is working on the software for China but in secret. In the long run, the CEO and other officers should be brought up on charges of vote tampering and treason. I'm glad I went to college when I did in the early '70s and had the Prof's that shaped my thinking. Unfortunately, most of my HS graduating class all turned Left.

The left has no idea what Nazis are. They are them.
