Why does steemit.com use GOOGLE for search?
This seems crazy the reason we're here is to get away from the monster. It can't be that hard for people who have created this site to write a search function?
Why is steemit feeding our searches into that monster? Many of us now use alternatives like duckduckgo.com for privacy.
This seems like a very weak link in the privacy and censorship fight. Maybe the devs should talk to the aforementioned search engine and get some collaboration going.
Also, I can't use the function from my location without a VPN. Actually, I can't use DuckDuckgo.com either but hey the point still stands.
And I see you still haven't fixed the problem with Grammarly corrections being auto undone that I mentioned to devs last year as a bug report.

I had the same question today! Luckily, your post came up in my search on the steemit FAQ. Is Eric Schmidt a stake holder in Steemit? Does Google have a contract with Steemit to copy all of the data posted on it (and user data?) Or is Steemit going to be just another deep state trojan horse, to herd all of the independence and freedom minded people off of the twitter gulag into one giant database convenient for bilderberg searching?
A related question is what is taking D Tube so long? Is alphabet paying off steemit to delay the full launch? (Or even to keep steemit from never getting past beta?)
