I currently use Qwant but I've heard people say it's also not a good zone. Much like other bigger <a href="https://mas.to/tags/searchengines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#searchengines</a> that monetize your searches through the Goog.What a mess, really. How did it ever get this way. I'm glad Musk kickstarted all this shit, so I can actually fully recourse my active accounts & know better.

Hamish CampbellWeb searches is a cesspit of algorithm-driven propagandaThe <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/dotcons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotcons</a> have turned web searches into a cesspit of algorithm-driven propaganda. What was a tool for discovery and connection is now a tightly controlled funnel, pushing people towards preordained narratives and commercialized echo chambers. Nowhere is this more obvious than on Google, the go-to gatekeeper of information, where what you find is shaped not by the richness of human knowledge, but by whatever serves the interests of those with power and capital.This isn't just an […]<a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/web-searches-is-a-cesspit-of-algorithm-driven-propaganda/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hamishcampbell.com/web-searches-is-a-cesspit-of-algorithm-driven-propaganda/</a>

David August2) I found a searxng instance I wanted to use: <a href="https://searx.space/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://searx.space/</a> 3) I added it as a new option in my Firefox for the default search engine: <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox#w_default-search-engine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox#w_default-search-engine</a> And now I can have the searxng of my choice set as my default search engine. 🧵 2/2 end<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#search</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/settings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#settings</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firefox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/searx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#searx</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DataEthics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataEthics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/USpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpolitics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/political" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#political</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#browser</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infosec</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/searxng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#searxng</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SearchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SearchEngine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/metasearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metasearch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/federated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#federated</a>

David AugustAs our digital lives in the US become less stable and private, I wanted to figure out how to choose what search engine my browser uses. I just added a new default search engine option for my Firefox on my MacBook (Mac OS). 1) add an extension to Firefox to allow me to add a different default search engine: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-custom-search-engine/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-custom-search-engine/</a> 🧵 1/2 <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#search</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/settings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#settings</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firefox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/searx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#searx</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DataEthics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataEthics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/USpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpolitics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/political" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#political</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#browser</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infosec</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/searxng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#searxng</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SearchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SearchEngine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/metasearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metasearch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/federated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#federated</a>

Strypey<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/FYI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FYI</a> meta-search portal Metager.org is now charging for use. For now they are pitching it as a one-time payment;<a href="https://metager.org/keys/#how-it-works" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://metager.org/keys/#how-it-works</a>...but until yesterday I had no reason to think there would be a payment, and the error message that informed me this morning of the change says;"Token used up. Recharge now."So you'll forgive my scepticism about the payment remaining one-time. I will be removing Metager from all my devices ASAP.(1/?)<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#search</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/WebSearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebSearch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/MetaSearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MetaSearch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/Metager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Metager</a>
