Use Ecosia.

I've recently found out about https://search.marginalia.nu and want to start using it.

Bro. Use ublock origin. I haven't seen a sponsored link on google in like 10 years

I tried getting xpadder yesterday and the top search results were fake websites. I'm still not convinced I found the real one

https://xpadder.com/

Just double checked the email confirmation from when I bought it in 2016. Most recent xpadder version is 2024.05.01.

Also if you're looking for controller remapping software (and you're on windows OS), check out DS4Windows. Contrary to the name, it works for most brands of controller, and it's got a lot of stuff that xpadder doesn't.

I landed on it for the better control stick adjusting (you can change dead zone/max zone, and also sensitivity curve). I stuck with it because it can use an emulated controller while hiding the actual controller from programs and games (which solves any double input jank from shit like steam).

Also it can also map gyro controls to mouse input, which is real neat for essentially using my joycons as a remote for my pc, and the occasion where splatoon style gyro aiming fits in games without being too barfy.

I need to take a screenshot the next time I see the "other users have searched" thing is almost a full page in length. It's happened a few times recently.

Mojeek and Qwant are my go to if duck, duck go isn't great. It should probably be the other way around.

4get, SearXNG and Whoogle are pretty good proxies for most search engines. I've recently been enjoying 4get with DuckDuckGo, it works really well. No ads, no trackers, no bullshit. Just a lightweight page that allows me to search the web privately.

Probably with a FOSS alternative but with the owner class working is to death for below survival wages who has the time?

Ya but Google makes a lot more money this way

@stabby_cicada you can always use duckduckgo...

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 3 points 5 months ago

I've just switch from DDG to Qwant. I didn't do research about how they make there algorithm but DDG that IS to say Being was returning me unrelated stuff and even things I ask not to see in my request. The result is not amazing quality but no more amazingly bad quality.

I want to learn more about search algorithm, what there referencement politic is and what use of AI they have. It not possible today to pick a search engin algorithm randomly and get pertinent résultat like it was two years ago.

I switched to DuckDuckGo for a few years, then went to Ecosia for a while, and now I'm using searx. I'm not sure how searx prioritises the results, so I'm still adjusting to it, but overall it works okay.
