Do you know how SearXNG works? It literally pulls search results from whatever other SEs you define it should pull from. You just get to reap the perks of all engines, without having to deal with their antagonistic design.
Who pays for all of it in the end? The people who still want to use Google's service and feed their all-reaching tentacles. But that is their choice.
Yeah, that's the thing about Sear. You can customise it how you want and that's it. No need to let some corpo be in control of what and how you see your results.
Can't wait for Trump's speech about how he single handedly united Europe:
"Nobody unites europeans better than me, believe me. When I'm done with my presidency they will be so united they will be tired of it. Yeah, they will be tired of how united they are. This will be the most united union this country has ever seen. Not like Biden, who claims he has a handicap of 6. Can you believe that? Biden, a handicap of 6. He's so senile he believes he's a better golfer than me. Anyways, that Hunter Biden laptop..."
Yikes. Thanks
Is that real, or a misinterpretation of the law?
I meant to say SearXNG. Still being maintained.
I've tried SearXNG and stayed there. And it costs me a whole 0€ per month. 10€/month for a search engine is insane.
Wasn't Google in the middle of an antitrust investigation?
Yeah, in the end I managed to make it work. Quite cool. I wanted to set it up in such a way that all EU SEs get a tick every time I search for something but sadly it seems Startpage is giving me issues.
It's one of those apps where you can't go by the reviews.
Basically they changed the interface quite a bit recently and so old customers got upset. But I use the app daily and they are seriously improving it to the point that I'm relying less and less on Google Maps. They keep adding more and more business details to the app.
If we were having this conversation a few months ago I would have said something different, so really the Improvements have been noticeable lately. I recommend that you give it a go for a couple of days at least and see how it serves you.
Its not the EUs fault that US companies keep breaking the law. Don't break the law, don't get fined. It really is simple. EU companies aren't getting these fines.
