"Does baidu .com censor too much compared to other search engines?"
hey guys, been using baidu .com for years but lately feeling like half the stuff i search just... disappears? like, try finding anything slightly sensitive and it’s either buried or gone.
is it just me or does baidu .com filter way more than others? i get why, but sometimes it’s frustrating af.
what’s your take? do you just deal with it or switch to alternatives? curious if others notice this too.
(also, why does the autocorrect on their mobile app suck so bad? lol)
Yeah, baidu .com is definitely heavy on the censorship. It’s not just you—anything political, controversial, or even slightly critical gets wiped.
I switched to DuckDuckGo for sensitive searches. It’s not perfect, but way less filtered. Also, try using a VPN if you wanna stick with baidu .com—sometimes it helps bypass some blocks.
And lol, their autocorrect is trash. No idea why it’s so bad.
Baidu .com is basically the Chinese Google, so yeah, it follows strict rules. If you’re looking for uncensored results, try Startpage or Qwant.
But tbh, if you’re in China, alternatives might be slow or blocked. Baidu .com is just the reality there.
Dude, baidu .com is notorious for this. Even basic health info gets scrubbed sometimes.
I’ve started using Ecosia for general searches—less censorship, plus it plants trees. Win-win.
For mobile, try SwiftKey instead of their built-in keyboard. Way better autocorrect.
It’s not just you. Baidu .com is designed to comply with local laws, so it’s way more restrictive than Google or Bing.
If you need unfiltered results, a VPN + Brave Search works well.
And yeah, their autocorrect is stuck in 2010. No fixes in sight.
Baidu .com censors like crazy, but tbh, that’s expected given its home base.
For less filtered searches, I use Yandex sometimes. It’s Russian, so it’s not perfect, but it’s better for some topics.
Also, their mobile app is garbage. Just disable autocorrect and use Gboard.
Yep, baidu .com is super aggressive with filtering. Even harmless stuff gets caught in the net.
If you’re tech-savvy, try setting up Searx—it’s a metasearch engine that pulls from multiple sources, so less bias.
And lol, their autocorrect is a meme at this point.
Baidu .com is basically the king of censorship. If you’re looking for alternatives, check out Mojeek—it’s privacy-focused and doesn’t filter as much.
But if you’re in China, good luck finding anything uncensored without a VPN.
Their autocorrect? Yeah, it’s hopeless.
Wow, didn’t realize so many people felt the same way about baidu .com. Thanks for all the suggestions—gonna try DuckDuckGo and Ecosia first.
Also, never thought about using a different keyboard app. SwiftKey sounds like a game-changer.
One last Q: anyone know if these alternatives work well *inside* China, or is a VPN a must?
Baidu .com is like the strict parent of search engines. It blocks anything remotely risky.
For better results, I use Presearch. It’s decentralized, so less control from any one company.
And their autocorrect? Just turn it off. It’s beyond saving.
