@doener oh shocked surprised not...Dump everything #google they have been evils for way too long. They are no longer a #searchengine. Use #DuckDuckGo #StartPage #Mojeek #metager whatever else you want - use several if possible - you will see different results from each search engine you use....and block ads and tracking - Go to eff.org and download all their wonderful free #privacy tools. You will be safer, and happier too! And turn off #AI on your #iphone

@lauren I have been begging people to leave gmail for years...I have mentioned #protonmail which has served me well, and I use several search engines - #DuckDuckGo, #Mojeeck, #StartPage, #Metager - No #tracking - #privacy even a bit of privacy, is better than none. Folks, please leave the #BigTech ecosystem asap. We are here, so that is a huge step. #facebook, #instagram, #TikTok are just as perilous for everyone, even more now post election. Be safe. #mastodon #fediverse #choice #civilliberties

The Fediverse is unique.

My survey asked what your favorite search engine is.

51% said DuckDuckGo, 12% Startpage, 9% Ecosia and 4% Qwant. Only 6% said Google and 1% Bing. 17% said they preferred another search engine, with many mentioning Kagi and Mojeek.

This is quite different from what the market share out there is, which shows how unique you all are here in the Fediverse. You make your own choices and do not follow everyone else. Be proud.

Vivaldi Tips

Tip #586

Access your most visited web pages on mobile from the Top Sites group on the Start Page.

In addition to Speed Dials, you can have an automatically generated group of your most visited web pages on the Start Page.

To enable Top Sites:

Option 1

  1. Open a new tab with the Start Page.
  2. At the bottom of the page or from the 3-dot menu in the top right corner of the Start Page, open “Customize Start Page” settings.
  3. Toggle on “Display Top Sites”.

Option 2

  1. Go to  Vivaldi Menu > Settings > Start Page.
  2. Toggle on “Display Top Sites”.

i've heard of #searxng (#searx) and tried to search something in it instead of #startpage but... the results are so bad! it cant even search its owt instance list, also no archwiki and no openwrt wiki! what am i doing wrong? maybe i can somehow configure it to search not only github and forums idk...

hmm looks like i can set languages to All and experiment with different instances
so different instances have different settings: different search engines avaliability, for example. some instances have brave enabled, some doesnt even have this option. searxng.site seems to have lots of available engines, so, if it works for you (it doesnt work on my phone because of DPI bypassing), you should try it, or search for an instance on searx.space for an instance
