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…

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 a blast from the past. I remember using Lycos in my school's computer room. That was almost 25 years ago.

[–] Tammo-Korsai@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it’s just a private browser. I use it along with Firefox.

[–] Tick_Dracy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, I use it on iOS (sometimes).
