Chrome, brought to you by Palantir, heck, what if Musk bought it?

good point, I guess one worry here is about the way in which this will affect Firefox (note Firefox here, not the Mozilla Fdn who have managed to Elon their own thing without help, seemingly)

TILvids is for sure the answer here, well-vetted content and it’s run in a way that means it’s pretty sustainable

to me, shaving Android off their business (suggested next step if this fails) would be way more impactful

X the everything (except the guardian, ouest-france etc.) app

The Texas Photocopier Massacre

would expect that to just get fed into the model in order to make the image recs more personalised to be honest; can’t see a world in which more specific-to-content ads mean a business would miss out on the opportunity to also be specific-to-people.

it’s not a place for meaningful discussion and yet, it seems to have helped them move their project along; I’m not necessarily pushing echo chambers as a positive, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve really hurt rightists across the board in advancing their ideas

the right’s echo chambers (X, Truth Social) seem to have done very well for their abilities to succeed as a movement

we have moved to musk hating but i fail to see how all of it could be characterised as nonsensical; there are elements for sure

keeps em away from us to be fair

came here to post this

fair enough, just sharing links in case they’re relevant

aye, you are correct, it still is a confusing usage of the word European for me personally

Not trying to do FUD and I work for a competitor, but I am a privacy person so I’ll provide some links and then it’s to you.

Ecosia’s privacy policy on the data they collect and process includes your IP address, search terms and session behavioral data

Qwant’s privacy policy seems better with most stuff you wouldn’t like only coming if you make an account. My only pause would be the Huawei relationship which is effectively FUD because there’s not really a reason (I just am not keen on this kind of partnership)

Once again, my opinion is going to be heavily biased here.

will be pretty similar due to the Bing: https://www.searchenginemap.com/ althought Ecosia, I believe, now sources G or B location dependent

Bring. Back. XUL.

European Union Alternatives; the conflation of “from Europe” and “from countries in the EU” is one which needs pointing out here. Also all the search options use indexes which come from outside of the EU/Europe.

After many years of people misusing the word Luddite, it’s time to bring back its actual meaning.

given the amount of time stract has been around i doubt that they have 8-billion plus pages like Mojeek
