Items tagged with: Duckduckgo


Can someone please recommend me a #search #engine that is not
* #Google (Ew google)
* #Duckduckgo (Keeps saying there were no results for my searches despite having the little information box to the right for the exact search)
* #Bing (I'd use bing if it wasn't crammed to death with CoPiLoT)
* #Brave (Ew, brave)
* #Ecosia (Its alright, but its just... slow. And gives kinda crap results)
* #Startpage (I just don't like it)
* #SearxNG (Slow, ugly, and useless)

I will probably update this list as I remember/am reminded about search engines that I've already tried and don't like.

cheers


Step 2: DeGoogle your search

Stop the Google Search Monopoly: tuta.com/blog/google-search-mo…

Great alternatives are #DuckDuckGo #Ecosia or @Mojeek


Ready to break #Google's monopoly?

#Chrome Manifest V3 is here to stop you from blocking ads.

Here are great alternatives:

✅ #Firefox
✅ #Duckduckgo
@torproject
✅ More options: tuta.com/blog/best-private-bro…

Which one did you pick?


Leave Google now and help others doing the same by:

1. Switching #Duckduckgo or #Kagi (using !g if Google is really needed)

2. Creating an email account on one of the many ethical alternative while asking gmail to redirect all email received.

3. Trying @organicmaps and adding your business information on OpenStreetMaps (opening hours, etc)

4. Creating a @peertube account on an instance and uploading your videos there

All those steps can be achieved by yourself, alone!

#degoogle


why doesn't #duckduckgo link directly to websites like instead it links to these nonsense links under duckduckgo.com/l. suspicious.


23.5.2024 - Der Tag an dem offensichtlich wurde, dass Bing praktisch die einzige verbliebene Alternative zu Google ist. Alle anderen "Suchmaschinen" sind Bing mit Schlapphut und Trenchcoat. 🕵️

Na obranu blokování reklamy

Poté, co se Youtube pustil do ostrého boje s blokátory reklamy, rozhořela se opět diskuse o tom, zda je v pořádku reklamy blokovat. Dlouho jsem byl na straně odmítačů blokování reklamy. Během svého života jsem napsal řadu článků pro různé časopisy a servery a vím, že obsah se zadarmo neudělá. Nicméně odvětví internetové reklamy zmorfovalo […]

« Je vais poser une question à CanardCanardVasY… C'est bizarre comme nom, quand même… »

Donc, finalement, j'ai cherché d'où venait le nom "DuckDuckGo" au lieu de faire ma recherche (c'était quoi déjà ???).

C'est donc écrit dans l'histoire sur Wikipédia : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuck…

Et… ça vient du jeu "Duck, duck, goose" qui n'est rien d'autre que… "le facteur n'est pas passé" : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck,_du…

Truc rigolo appris aujourd'hui !

#TIL #DuckDuckGo


#Google has a revenue of $162bln and 1.8bln regular users. If we divide these numbers, the value of the services people use giving away their #privacy is $7.5/mo.

But you can have all these services for free (or very small monthly fees) in a privacy-respecting environment: #encrypted email from @protonmail or @Tutanota, online office suite from @cryptpad or @ViOffice, cloud storage Proton or ViOffice, #openstreetmap for maps, #duckduckgo, or @StartpageSearch for search. As simple as that! 😀


The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

@LibreSolutionsNetwork #Purism folks have more perceived cred than they should, due to blind loyalties that facilitate the evils they think they're fighting. E.g. Kyle is loyal to #DuckDuckGo & Purism censored the project that gathered the research behind the article that exposes #DDG’s evils (techrights.org/2021/03/15/duck…). Kyle’s blog doubles down on that screwup & pimps ddg.


@Bubu I don’t think that’s true. I heard a talk pimping #Matrix at #FOSDEM years back, and I remember because I was a bit repulsed that a pro- #Cloudflare org was getting talking time there. It was the same year that #DuckDuckGo abused a time slot to advertise their #Microsoft-driven service.
