…people use Bing?
*checks browser marketshare…
Ha, Bing doesn’t even have 5% marketshare.
Oh no, Firefox has less than half of Bing’s marketshare. Fuck me, what’s wrong with internet users. I know Firefox isn’t perfect, but there’s other forks of it for various use-cases.
Dick Duck Go gets its search results from Bing.
I can’t even convince my spouse to switch to firefox to get adblocking back. Browsers are entirely transparent to most users :\
If you’re savvy, look at blocking them at the dns level with software like pihole or blocky.
For normies Chrome IS the internet.
…people use Geocities?
Bing/DDG has also blocked the emulation wiki (https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/) for some reason. I noticed when I forgot the domain and tried looking for the site.
For the record, Google returns it as the top result.
Man, who could hate Neocities? There’s so many gorgeous “retro” websites on there. Brings me back to my childhood.
So, going by the blog post, the entire domain got sanctioned due to a few (proportionally speaking) malicious domains?
If so, wtf 💩
Also, for things like this, I’d suggest linking to sites one uses (Neocities or otherwise) between one’s friends and followers so discovery of sites flow through the chain of trust. Not as fast discoverable, but avoids algorhithm decisions like this, or shadow ban, or ill-intended sites paying to appear higher, or so on.
will ig am switching off DDG
Startpage seems nice. Uses sanitized results from Google and while it does have an AI feature, it’s opt-in (not out) and looks to also be sanitized.
I want to (try) relying less on Google And Microsoft so I decided to try mojeek.
Looks like its showing in the DDG results for me this evening.
Damn they rarely even speak, previous post is from 4 years ago
