This AI shit is starting to piss me off.
>>
>>108877439
Looks fine for me.
I'm not a filthy Spic by the way. I made the hilarious mistake of using my residential VPN in Spain on my travel router and their retarded WiFi location database spyware on Android saw this and decided my entire IPv6 /56 range (Yes, the entire range, not just the /64) is now located in Spain.

Now every Google service thinks my British IPv6 address is located in Spain. I get offered to buy everything in Euros and not British pounds. Only my IPv6 is affected, my IPv4 range is fine.

God, I hate Google.
Always add _nomap to your WiFi SSD to prevent their spyware from mapping your WiFi networks:

DDG is good for quick summary. It uses all the popular AI services on the backend and does the search query for you, without your data, even the IP is cut.

I wonder how this fags make money... but their DuckAI is limited per day.

Who the fuck even uses the home page.

I wanted to switch from Startpage after I found they use IP triangulation as well despite claiming the contrary. It seems that there is no good actual free search engine.

I wonder what's next, after all these rounded shapes, slightly tinted grey hues and AI integration there's not that much you could do to visually make the interface unreadable and annoying.
Maybe extra large fonts are the next big thing?

Kinda funny since the whole reason they got popular in the first place is their page loaded so quickly on dialup. MSN, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, they all were terrible. Metacrawler though was a king we didn't deserve.

Depending on the state, absolutely. They'll never ban gun websites though.

It works on mine because Adguard updated their AI Widget blocker. Otherwise I'd see it

They're literally just forcing normalfags onto ad blockers. Even moreso than when they were forcing them to view actual ads.

Searx
Use Searx

Put your own instance on a VPS in some foreign country, have it use a tor router, and go through that.

if you think that's too tinfoil use Brave search and be done with it
