For those who are still using google, this recently added search query strips all of the extras from Google search, leaving behind just the links!

Or, I dunno, maybe just don't use Google?

So I'd cut Google out entirely for the last year or so, but I still haven't found a good search engine. DDG has been my go to, but it's not great, and this old style Google seems to be close to how things were before all search engines sucked ass. Do you have any recommendations for alternatives?

Quite satisfied with Brave Search.

Aside from the transphobia and crypto shilling, I'm sure they're great

Really? But when did this happened? 😰

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Brendan Eich. He donated money anti marriage equality organisations and politicians, and half of the Mozilla board resigned when he was appointed as Mozilla CEO. He stepped down from that role after 11 days, and went on to found Brave.

He's also an anti-masker/pandemic conspiracy theorist

Oh no… should I stop using Brave after knowing this? I believe I might actually do.
