>this will surely make people use our search engine
>>109748211I have quit Startpage for that very reason. Brave search is perhaps a bit too cancer in places and ways, but at least it rarely gives you a captcha. It seems like it gets mad at you if you use a colon anywhere or something.
>>109748211About a month ago all searches on startpage just started saying "verification failed" so I assumed it was broken and went to a different search engine
investigate 1.7
>>109748568same. sp was probably the last good se before they did this.now I have to use hecking ddg since it doesn’t seem to have any captchas (for now?).
the duck would never
>>109748211It's because they removed the noJS option
>>109748765There is a captcha ("select photos of ducks") on the noJS version at least, but it's rare
>>109748211I stopped using Google because it became so bad, but now Yandex became totally unusable, SaarXNG became totally useless, Startpage became unusable...Ironically, shitty Google is the least shitty option...It's like being forced to drink vomit because everything else is diarrhea. I miss the old internet.
>>109752116funnily enoughlately I've been considering just giving up and straight up just start using a burner google account>banking apps in android now check if you have installed them through google playstore (so no aurora store, and using shizuku is not always an option due to how increasingly cucked android OEMs are becoming with humilliation rituals just so you can enable USB debugging [looking at you Xiaomi]), and in worst case they check safetynet and google account statusalternatively I could just buy a cheap second phone just for banking but currently NEET>freetube breaks every other fucking week>every other search engine just fucking sucks nowadays (though a google account is not required for this)
Kagi is worth the subscription fee.
>>109748568at least it isn't totally leftist cancered and searching for '4chan pol' actually gives you le really scary far right link (though admittedly half way down, still much better than pozzed goog/ms/ddg)
>>109752659show us the results for '4chan pol' orange paypiggy, the result is too hard too handle for you, maybe need to pay more
>>109752753I'm not sure what form of retardation you have. First result was the wiki, second was pol itself.
>>109752786wiki with the scary article how bad the site is, imagine paying for gaslighting, let me guess you pay for claude just to regularly ask it about tienanmen
>>109748211I switched to brave’s engine>>109752738What drove me nuts about anything using bing’s API was how aggressively it was censoring anything related to 4chan. If I did a fresh install and used DDG to find the 4chanx script page I would go 10+ pages and still not find it, not even Google does that shit
>>109752814This is startpage. What search engine are you using which lists actual 4chan first thing? I went through 3 pages of the startpage search and it's nowhere to be found.
>>109752820yup, search engines are now opinion curation, ask for a link to 4chan get 4 wiki articles about cyberfascism kek
>>109752843they all follow (((google)))'s blackholing of pol, ddg is just bing, startpage is just goog, brave and some shitty startup level search engines list it and ofcourse the king, yandex doesn't care about kike feelings
>>109752908I forgot I did this and you should know. I had raised and pinned Wikipedia in the past. Guaranteed if I deleted these /pol/ would have been the first result.
>>109752949Here's the options I get to fine-tune my results to fit whatever ideal world I want. Do you have any per-site options like this on yandex?
>>109752908Paying for my search engine is the one subscription that makes sense. I don't subscribe to anything else other than usenet. They aren't motivated by data collection and don't manipulate my results since I have to pay. My total subscriptions are like 15/mo and most people here couldn't claim that.
>>109752995>usenetuse case?
>>109752908Also kagi didn't blackhole it. Literally the 2nd result after my preferences were applied to the search.
>>109753012Entertainment ingestion without the use of subscription streaming services
>>109748211Who cares when the search results have been shit from the word go?
