What is that? Is that a meme or something?
Either way, the solution for that is here. If you’re one of the poor souls that still enjoy using the Google Search, you can use Startpage, I guess.
DuckDuckGo is not really much better. And it uses Bing as a backend. Gone are the days of reliable search engines.
Or DuckDuckGo, ecosia, bing, askjeeves, nexislexis, Qwant, altavista…
wow, I had no idea it still existed! I don't think I've used it since it was altavista.digital.com
edit: it doesn't, it's just yahoo search now
I thought the same about askjeeves, can’t believe it made it this long
Damn! This talk of forgotten search engines made me realise that dogpile.com is still alive! I dimly recall using it before Google's rise to power.
What happened to lycos?
What a blast from the past. I remember using Lycos in my school's computer room. That was almost 25 years ago.
Lycos Mail was the very first example of email I ever saw. It blew my mind when I was a small kid.
ever try the duckduckgo app? I didn't realize it existed until now.
II'm usually on firefox with adblocker, and just use duck as my default search, so the app seems unnecessary. willing to try it out tho
Yeah, it’s just a private browser. I use it along with Firefox.
Yes, I use it on iOS (sometimes).
