Browsers and search engines
Hello everybody!
Finally decided to move away from google and google chrome. Need your recommendation for search engines and browser (I'm aiming to Firefox, but maybe you know something better). I need recommendations both for browser and search engine.

Browser Firefox is the best. Search Engine, Google for 90% of shit, since it's still pretty efficient. I use Duckduckgo to get shit Google blocks. Other kids here might have better ideas though.

I use Firefox and DuckDuckGo since Google's search quality has declined, they now display anything that will get you to buy something first and actual results later, although Google is still better sometimes I would rather just use something that I know is not run entirely by Jews

Limited though in some options.
That is, while it is great for unlimited results in general searches and I think the science searches, image/news searching is pay walled.
Still better than the numerous engines out there that only give you a few pages of the repeated AI search narratives.

I'd like to use Brave on desktop, but I can't be bothered to move my Firefox addons over. I do use it on my phone though.
I've tried DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, and Yandex but always come back to Google even though it's constantly getting worse. With Yandex I couldn't figure out how to filter out the Russian results so I may just be retarded.

aka we are going to get rid of all searches we don't like, then spam you with reoccurring narratives of the same basic links, then wall off continued searching after a while so you never find anything we don't want you to.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ March 31st, 2024, 20:08TheCumGuzzler wrote: ↑ March 31st, 2024, 20:02I use Firefox and DuckDuckGo since Google's search quality has declined, they now display anything that will get you to buy something first and actual results later, although Google is still better sometimes I would rather just use something that I know is not run entirely by Jews
Using Waterfox as browser. Fork of Firefox. Haven't checked on their position of privacy in quite some time, but add-ons like UBlockOrigin, Privacy Badger, can be installed.
Startpage and Swisscows as search engines. Can recommend SearX though, have used it for months before. Swisscows also has a family friendly filter by default. Mind you, given Startpage is from Germany, Swisscows from Switzerland, they are under their respective law. SearX is better there with all its instances.
Yandex is also pretty good from the handful of times I used it. Not as ridden with all the agenda trash from the other, conventional engines.

Switched to Brave around January and am still kicking myself for not switching sooner. Just try it out and you'll see. For search engine, I use yandex if its something of non-mundane nature, and google for everything else. Have yet to find anything with a good algo for searches akin to old google.Faceless_Sentinel wrote: ↑ March 31st, 2024, 19:52Hello everybody!

AI seem to give semi-satisfactory results for overall info but also not ideal as they're also progressively curating the info.Nammu Archag wrote: ↑ March 31st, 2024, 23:37Switched to Brave around January and am still kicking myself for not switching sooner.

DuckDuckGo fucking sucks someone here said it's perfect for uselessly searching before accepting defeat and opening google search to get better results and it's all I can think about now because it's so true.Faceless_Sentinel wrote: ↑ March 31st, 2024, 19:52Hello everybody!

Modified Firefox/Librewolf (lazier)/r3dfox (Win8.1/7/Vista/XP) for desktop are still king. Brave is great for mobile (or a Chromium-based backup for desktop). Can't really decide on a search engine though, they all suck for either results or usability. I'd use Yandex if they didn't ask for 20 captchas every 1-2 searches. Searx depends on the instance and at that point, you might as well run your own
Waterfox was bought by an ad-company and then somehow said company let them go...for some reason. According to the OG dev, they are now "private/independent" again. I'd care to dig in more but better Firefox forks exist and outside their shady history, they don't have anything else to stand out from the pack.Kowe wrote: ↑ March 31st, 2024, 20:50Using Waterfox as browser.

They all display the same garbage tbh. Kagi gave some different results but difference is neglible compared to Google and DuckDuckGo.
