At this point should we really be using these search engines? Feels like you’re just doing their work for them.
This. I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.
I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.
It’s also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this.
I have it installed, I’m curious how effective it will be.
Lately, I’ve been reporting AI generated cruft as “spam” to duckduckgo. In fact, it’s not really spam - as there are some nuggets of useful information, but so sparse, I’d rather of skipped the article/website entirely. I hope these kind of Blocklists will evolve to include this kind of quasi-spam.
I bet we could make an effective blocklist just by discarding all websites with more than 200 words on them.
This looks like it has some potential. I’ll probably give this a try.
Thanks for this, I’ll give it a go.
