What is the TUSK News Feed?

To promote free speech and un-censor the stories that get buried, the News Feed built into TUSK shows only articles from media outlets you trust. Our news features popular media organizations like Fox News, The Hill, and many others.  The News Feed is easily customizable to show only the sites you want to see in your feed.  

To help you be the first to discover breaking news and stay ahead of the trends, our real-time news platform predicts the stories that will matter in the hours ahead, thus giving you the clarity and insight that no other news feed can. 

What is the built-in search engine?

The default search engine is our own TUSK Search.

You may change the default at any time.

Can I change the default search engine?

Yes, at any time, you are free to choose from several popular search engines, including Google if that is what you prefer. We don’t censor anyone. 

Does TUSK support third-party extensions?

Yes, for macOS and Windows versions of TUSK.  

Because TUSK is built using the Chromium web browser project, extensions available in the Chrome Web Store can also be installed in TUSK. In some instances, extensions built for the Chrome browser will behave differently when installed in TUSK, but for the most part your favorite Chrome extensions will work just fine in TUSK. 

Since TUSK is built using Chromium, does that mean it is the same as Chrome?

No. Since both TUSK and Chrome are built using the open-source Chromium project, they may have some visual similarities. However, much work has gone into developing TUSK to be very different from Chrome, especially to prevent Google and anyone else from tracking, profiling, or following you online.

Can Google see what you are looking at on TUSK?

No.

However, if you are using Google search, you can be sure they collect your information and build a profile on you. The best way to avoid this is to use a search engine that you can trust.
