Well that's a funny coincidence, I've removed Google URLs and services from all my devices and browsers.

Waiting to see who grapheneOS is working with next year and what models, then completely and finally degoogling my life.

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 6 points 10 months ago

You don't have to wait, start it now! LineageOS with MicroG is a fine Android OS without Google. It's supported on many devices.

yandex is better, ddg is just bing

[–] hodgepodgin@lemmy.zip 27 points 10 months ago (3 children)

isn’t yandex Russian owned?

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yes, that's why they don't care about copyrighted content outside of Russia.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

DDG for everyday use, Yandex for media.

it is. it also doesnt work well with js disabled and shows many captchas which absolutely sucks. the search results are pretty good tho.

[–] tyranical_typhon@lemmings.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, and while it may give you results that you won't find in Western search engines, it's still controlled by the state in what it puts out.

isnt this kind of good thing? The original website is the best for searching stuff from there and by doing this, it takes off some heat from the website

[–] tyranical_typhon@lemmings.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's a bad thing because people are less likely to come across it at all.

We should stop being afraid to fight because we think our oppressors will fight back.

That's bitch-made, punk-ass behavior.

Strong community is how we deal with this, not by relying on corporations' tools. People should be guided to communities first, so they can also get information how to stay safe themselves.

Who tf uses google anymore anyway? (I know, I know, a sea of normies)

Oh boy, copyright holders are about to learn about the Streisand effect

Good thing I use Startpage

[–] tyranical_typhon@lemmings.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure startpage shows the same results as google.

Mojeek is a search engine that prides itself on lack of censorship, but it can be hard to find things there as well.

Rude of them
