Anyone who does not agree with them is obviously a racist and a bigot who should be socially terrorized and have their career ruined, and probably should be physically assaulted as well.

This is who the 21st century Democrat left has become, sad to say.

So which browsers are better alternatives? There are at least two good ones to check out right now:
BRAVE – Run by a pro-freedom group that supports small, independent publishers (and even has a mechanism for micropayments).
Vivaldi – Run by a small, independent group with no ties to deep state funding or the NSA

Natural News?

Do you buy their dietary supplements too?

From Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_News

Natural News (formerly NewsTarget, which is now a separate sister site) is a website for the sale of various dietary supplements, promotion of alternative medicine, controversial nutrition and health claims,[2] scientific fake news,[3][4] and various conspiracy theories,[5] such as "chemtrails", chemophobic claims (including the purported dangers of fluoride in drinking water,[6] anti-perspirants, laundry detergent, monosodium glutamate, aspartame), and purported health problems caused by allegedly "toxic" ingredients in vaccines,[2] including the now-discredited link to autism.[7] It has also spread conspiracy theories about the Zika virus allegedly being spread by genetically modified mosquitoes[8] and purported adverse effects of genetically modified crops, as well as the farming practices associated with and foods derived from them.[9]
The site's founder, Michael Allen "Mike" Adams, was the subject of controversy after posting a blog entry implying a call for violence against proponents of GMO foods, and then allegedly creating another website with a list of names of alleged supporters. He has been accused of using "pseudoscience to sell his lies".[10] Adams has described vaccines as "medical child abuse".[11]
Characterized as a "conspiracy-minded alternative medicine website", Natural News has approximately 7 million unique visitors per month.[12]


Hmm, a conspiracy theory/fakenews site that sells dietary supplements. Who else does that sound like? Cough, cough, Alex Jones, cough, cough...

Oh, and before you try to discredit the Wikipedia article, please cite which of the 49 references they list that you have issue with, and what claims within them you refute.

I don't know what you are seeing, but the comment about communists is hilarious. You're talking about private businesses making business decisions. Couldn't be farther from communism.

In the meantime, misinformation is becoming a serious problem. When an armed man shows up at a pizza joint looking for pedophilia, and starts shooting, that's a problem. I certainly have concerns about some algorithm screening information from the internet. Serious concerns. But your comments don't forward the discussion.

It's hard to take seriously any source that begins by terming Google "pure evil." I certainly condemn Google for many things, but anyone claiming them to be "pure evil" is clearly wacko and not to be trusted.

Exactly. Some people have wild imaginations and scant understanding of the world around them.

Government is not required for free speech to be suppressed, or antonymically to be compelled.
