We could spend hours describing what makes Murmel so great. We could tell you about its powerful aggregation and indexing algorithms. Or, we could speak at length about our mission to fight disinformation and fake news.
We value your time. That's why decided to give you a sneak peak instead.
All Murmel users have their own private home page showing results, tailored to their tastes and interests.
Results will look something like the ones below.
