Welcome back to the continuing journey on the Decentralized Me podcast, where we show you how to take back your digital identity and profit from it. On this episode, we delve into the world of search engines, and boy, does we have a programme for you. 

When we use a search engine, we want unbiased results. When you search for specific data, you get indisputable facts. But when you search for adjustable results, research by independent bodies such as the Wall Street Journal reveal:

“Significant evidence that the results showed either a political bias or a bias towards specific companies.”

This is because the likes of Google Chrome, Bing, DuckDuckGo all have one thing in common: they are all centralized systems. So if you’re in the market for a decentralized search engine, check out Presearch. 

“It's a decentralized search engine whose backend works a bit differently behind the scenes. When you search for an item your request is sent to a node gateway server. This node does something really cool - it takes any personal identifiers from your query, so that the search is completely anonymous.”

The best bit, however, is that everytime you search using Presearch, you earn a PRE token as a reward that you can convert to other cryptos or flat currency, as you can with the NBX token. 

“Two episodes in and we've replaced our browser and our search engine with two decentralized projects that protect our privacy and generate us a reward. Definitely a good start, but the best is yet to come.”

To find out what that is, keep downloading and listening to Decentralized Me.
