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.

More information is available at https://tuskbrowser.com/search/

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.

One-stop shop for PH products gets designer-led update

One-stop shop for PH products gets designer-led update

Filipino craftsmanship and creativity was on full display at the launch on Thursday of Kultura Atelier at SM Makati. The one-stop shop of the country’s largest department store chain is known for its wide range of Philippine-made products ranging from comestibles to clothes.  It is also a favorite shopping destination of returning Filipinos who want to take a piece of home back to their country of work. Many tourists also make a beeline to Kultura for souvenirs of their time in the tropics.  With the opening of Kultura Atelier, shoppers now have more options when an event calls for elevated Filipiniana. At the mini fashion show to mark the launch last week, the designers who were tapped to join Kultura’s roster presented pieces from their collection now available in store.  Daryl Maat showed updates to his playful redesign of the short-sleeved barong. Instead of traditional scrollwork or geometric designs, Maat’s features kid-style line drawings stitched in colored embroidery thread. Former professional model Alvin Degamo of Wear Your Culture was wearing one of his own pieces that afternoon, a denim jacket with fabric insets featuring embroidery inspired by the Manobos of Mindanao. He said his pieces are limited because it takes time for the weavers to finish a panel and send it to him.  Degamo then sends the panel to Lumban, Laguna to be embroidered by sewers he has long worked with. “I want to give the pieces from Wear Your Culture something more. Rather than use a woven panel as is, I have it embroidered or hand painted so the finished product stands out from others like it,” Degamo said.  Veteran Cebu-based designer Phillip Rodriguez has also thrown his hat into the retail shopping ring with Isla by Filippo. His elegant pieces shown that afternoon included a red terno ensemble with fabric that featured a solihya-like pattern.  Rodriguez also presented two black barong Tagalog that looked sleek and had a slimming effect.  Other brands and designers that are now part of Kultura Atelier include Fam Ph, Goodluck Humans, Harold and Harry, Jo-Rel Espina, Ken Samudio, Martin Uy, Rodolfo by Puey Quinones, Sari Lazaro, Tim Tam Ong and Zarah Juan. The festivities that afternoon extended beyond the runway with a perfume bar by Tadhana Fragrance, and jewelry customization by Nazrea Pearls. Kultura Atelier and Kultura at SM Makati still share the same space but the former  consists mainly of designer apparel and fashion accessories while the latter carries home decor and food items. In praise of the coconut There are dozens of food and decorative items for sale this weekend at the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) National Trade Fair. This time the coconut is in the spotlight with a wide range of food items ranging from coconut leaf-wrapped suman and extra virgin coconut oil to beaded hanging lamps and Christmas decor made of the tree’s different elements.  As the second coconut-focused trade fair this year, the initiative highlights the versatility of the Philippine coconut industry through innovative products in food, wellness, beauty, textiles, home essentials and handicrafts. The fair is open free to the public until Sunday and is a good place to jumpstart Christmas shopping.  Beyond showcasing local ingenuity, however, the fair opens doors for MSMEs and coconut farmer-beneficiaries to connect with institutional buyers, retailers and consumers, expanding their market reach and business opportunities.
