A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I always thought that people using searx etc over duckduckgo were just gluttons for punishment. Having gone an entire morning without search, maybe now is the time to dive down that rabbit hole...
Seems like most search engines these days are primarily Google-based or Bing-based. Mojeek has its own crawler, I think...
Alexandria and Stract use their own open source crawlers. Brave is also independent, if I recall correctly.
Brave does have an option to use anonymous Google results as a fallback if their index doesn't return enough results, but it will ask you before it does it.
