I guess their primary userbase must now be chuds angry at Google? A few years ago, I think this probably would have ended them as a company.

Why would chuds angry at Google not be mad at this?

They were never using DuckDuckGo for privacy cool reasons, they were mad Google was returning mean results about their big wet boy :thicc-trump:

I think they were also mad that Mob Psycho 100 was showing up in “mob” image searches.

Are you implying that I wasn’t safe all these times I typed “how to do a terrorism?” and “where can I become an extremist?” into DDG?

Man, fuck them. Is there a search engine that doesn’t try to dictate what you see?

I use ecosia, they seem at least somewhat concerned about privacy and the searches plant trees :quokka-smile:

Maaaaaaybe Brave Search. Otherwise indie-hosted Searx servers.

Edit: Just checked and Fmovies.to works on search.brave.com while it’s gone from DDG. Although DDG still lists Nyaa.si (which I thought was the original site and not .se?) and RuTracker, etc.

If I remember the deep lore correctly, nyaa.se was the original, after it went down nyaa.pantsu.moe was the first copy to pop up, then came nyaa.si and a brief culture war between the two. HorribleSubs went to nyaa.si because of some Twitter talk about sexism or something on the part of pantsu, which cemented si as the winner.

Probably not the worst thing. PBay is a shell, gotta grab that magnet link library from a bit ago.

The original is thepiratebay.org. You can find knockoff ones even in Google.

I’m not sure there could ever be a totally neutral search engine given they work based on guessing whether something would be relevant to you, but one that’s not being used to sell ads would be far better.
