I needed to reinstall Firefox on this computer, so I started up Chrome to download the latest version and it blocked the download as unsafe! I had to manually tell it to download anyway.
Fuck Chrome. I’m glad I only used it to download one file and went back to Firefox.
Remember when the meme was about Internet Explorer?
IE: What is my purpose?
Me: You download Chrome!
IE: Oh…my god!
Now Chrome isn’t trusted. Even duck duck go is getting dubious. It seems there’s almost nowhere to turn. Your data is their data, and if you dont like it, you can lump it.
What’s up with ducky?
Basically microsoft has a deal with them which makes them give aggregate data to microsoft. Which led to this.
P.S. : I am primarily still using ddg in case someone’s thinking I’m an anti or something.
Ok, seems it’s time to seek next search engine.
I use both SearX and LibreX alongside DDG and that helps with 99% of my daily search online.
If I need to use Google for search, I do so in my tor browser.
Don’t google block your tor browser?
Google serves me captcha and those are not much of a problem since I rarely use it.

That looks great at first until I tried searching and I got hit with a low-res captcha asking me to choose pictures about minecraft because /g/tards bots are stressing the server. I don’t get that on SearX.
Also, the server is in the US, privacy-wise, that’s quite bad.

Kagi.com is pretty good
Nothing. Just a misunderstanding that blew up.
Context and source?
those also blew up, no traces left
Nothing to see here, you say? Gotcha. 🙈
Tried Kagi?
Eyy! You took the words out of my mouth! I don’t mind paying for a search engine if it’s good lol
It’s the whole “if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.” But I guess the downvoters are perfectly fine with having their data harvested for “free.”

Not as easy of a choice when I’m struggling to get a job :/
