Great list, my additions. You learn all on this page (all posts) and your OSINT skills are better than 90% of people out there.
-
Archive.org is already compromised. do NOT store there, only look for already stored stuff there. They have started retroactively censoring. Use Archive.IS for now.
-
eTools.CH meta-search engine (google, bing, duckduckgo, exalead, fastbot, qwant, yahoo, yandex, etc.) that allows you to rank different search engines (rank google down, rank others up, make Results 40/page, make 40 results per engine, save your own preferences, learn to use + and "" and site: in your search terms): https://www.etools.ch/searchAdvancedSubmit.do?query=
-
MetaGer - another meta search engine, that does NOT automatically put google results on top. You can find different hits with this search engine than with the big two (google and bing, which have their own indexes, but rank/censor heavily) : https://metager.org/
-
Brave Search - a new search engine, with no censoring and privacy and does NOT use the Google index by default, but is slowly building it's own (it will take time, so don't expect this to cover nearly what Google / Bing cover now) : https://search.brave.com/
-
Torch - TOR + search but with lots of ads - you need a TOR browser first : http://xmh57jrzrnw6insl.onion/
-
Ahmia - Another Tor network search, but you can initially search with a basic browser, but need a TOR browser to follow links to TOR results : https://ahmia.fi/

Baidu.com - yes really. It is CCP censored, but mainly about CCP / China critical stuff. Think it like this way : If you wanted to read shit on USA that was censored in USA during cold war you read TASS/Izvestia. But if you wanted to read shit on USSR, you would have to go to non-Soviet sources. Everybody does propaganda, just find a away around local propaganda. Same logic works here. https://baidu.com/
-
