I'm not really getting significantly different results in any of them: a mixture of pro-refugee philantropist and nazi sympathiser links from websites with wildly opposing views, roughly 80% overlap in website links even.

Would it matter if one's filter bubble is more on the left or right here? I'm Dutch, living in Sweden and left-leaning - presumably the biggest contributors to any filter bubble that applies here.

Without getting into a discussion of politics itself, could people who do see a difference share their experience, and what they expect the search engines to infer about their political leanings?

The suggestions, not the results
The only difference is that I get some Swedish suggestions mixed in with Bing, and that DDG shows no suggestions at all (but without "is" they are similar again).

This makes me wonder: has anyone ever looked at per-country filter bubbles?
