Google flagging 9,500 malicious sites every day

[Bruce B]

At that rate it would be 3,467,500 bad sites marked in a year. Does that not seem like too much?

But the very bad thing is that many of these sites are ordinary sites
from companies none have any reason to think of as to be vulnerable
of such evil things. Ad Links from ordinary News Mags and Tabloids
that many read daily. Sites about religion or politics and so on.

One would expect such from political hate speech or porn sites
or other such sites that many warns about that can have evil code.

State instution and Help organisations and so on can be infected
and not knowing about it. Blog pages and such that none expect
to be dangerous.

You can use a non-bubble search engine such as duckduckgo

I prefer not to be bothered by google sponsored interference (not exactly evil but annoying)

I use this one instead of DDGO
https://www.startpage.com/
or this one for some science or academic search?
http://www.kvasir.no/
and what about this one http://www.dogpile.com/
is that one less good compared to DDG?

What I like about Google is that they do warn about malicious code.
Does the other search engines do that? Apart from that I hate how Google
and FaceBook invade our privacy. But on the other hand. Google do give
best result for some searches and that they warn about bad code is a good thing.
