Do not use Kagi

Always funny how the bourgeoisie will laugh at acceptable free software alternatives, only to then pick paid alternatives to invasive corporate software that have the same quality or, in this case--with the search engine Kagi--are worse. And maybe equally as privacy invading as the corporate crap:

"Between the absolute blase attitude towards privacy, the 100% dedication to AI being the future of search, and the completely misguided use of the company’s limited funds, I honestly can’t see Kagi as something I could ever recommend to people. Is the search good? I mean…it’s not really much better than any other search, it heavily leverages Bing like DDG and the other indie search platforms do, the only real killer feature it has to me is the ability to block domains from your results, which I can currently only do in other search engines via a user script that doesn’t help me on mobile. But what good is filtering out all of the AI generated spamblogs on a search platform that wants to spit more AI generated bullshit at me directly?"

Firefox ESR (vanilla Debian package) removed custom search engine

"This is the first time this happened on the vanilla Debian Firefox package: Firefox just informed me that it has changed my default search engine. When clicking on "Learn more", a website informs me that:"

"From time to time, Mozilla may update the list of search engines that are available in Firefox or set as default in specific regions. If your default search engine is changed, you'll receive a notification in Firefox so you can further customize your default search settings."

Google Paid $26 Billion to Be Default #Search Engine in 2021

#Google paid $26.3 billion to other companies to ensure its search engine was the default on web browsers and mobile phones, a top company executive testified during the Justice Department’s antitrust trial Friday.

boaaah ey - #dating für #senioren ... #senioren-dating
ich bin auf #Gleichklang und wunder mich immer mehr, dass da Vorschläge kommen, die ich eher auf den üblichen mainstream Börsen wie #Finya vermuten würde...
auf Gleichklang mal #Glück gehabt - hielt 4 Jahre, immerhin...
bin ich in gewisser Art drauf angewiesen um meinen Bekanntenkreis hier am Ende der Welt in #rlp_skurril
#eifel-garden zu beleben
vor Jahren gab es noch viele kleine (aber feine... und kostenlose) Seiten, wo das auch klappte... aber wenn ich jetzt im Netz suche, find ich nur Abzockerseiten von 40-80 Öhren monatlich... kein Wunder, dass die auf Gleichklang landen
(hab überhaupt den Eindruck, dass Suchseiten #search-engines #search von duckduckgo bis incl verschiedene Instanzen von #searx nur noch wie google funzen: wie bei meiner Suche nach #Suchtgruppen #blogs für ne Bekannte vor Wochen... nur Kliniken, Geldgeier und dergleichen...)

I found out what's wrong with Apple: They rejected #DuckDuckGo as a #search engine because of #privacy concerns and therefore preferred to stay with #Google.

source: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/10/apple-considered-ditching-google-for-duckduckgo-in-safaris-private-mode/

#Giannandrea had a different take, though. He was heavily involved in Apple's discussions about its future with search, and he dismissed a switch to DuckDuckGo, partly because he felt that DuckDuckGo's "marketing about privacy is somewhat incongruent with the details" because DuckDuckGo relies on #Bing in some areas. He said he would have wanted to do "a lot more due diligence with DuckDuckGo" should the switch have happened. He previously argued against switching to DuckDuckGo in an internal company email.

So an ex-Google employee talks about privacy issues and that's why you should stay with Google. If Apple is so stupid and falls for it, I wonder what they do for a living.

Apple considered ditching Google for DuckDuckGo in Safari’s private mode

But Apple exec argued DuckDuckGo wasn't as private as believed.
