Brave bought their index. The other two did a PR announcement that they are gonna build one, you seen much else? Point very much still stands.
(some) alternative search engines use Bing because building an index is hard and the only project I know of doing this work from base is Mojeek: https://www.mojeek.com/
It’s a three-pronged attack: Subliminal, liminal, and super-liminal
Having listened to this all when it was released I can highly recommend, as well as Evgeny’s other podcast, the first in the series: https://choramedia.com/podcast/the-santiago-boys/
A third is supposed to be coming too
Time to take it for a spin eh Tina?
We were all expecting that…
(and on and on and on…)
lmao, who is going to OPT INto the anti-privacy replace-your-job machine?
how about no, nerd.
we are so cooked as a nation
you know that friend who always spits out tonnes of plausible bullshit? Well now they’ve got a 1-800 number
I think that’s very unlikely; this PR was delivered pretty much word-for-word with a different partner earlier this year: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox-partners-with-qwant/
imo this is just your standard PR announcement of a partnership between two known entities which will get people talking before they forget about it
Swisscows I don’t believe has an index, Mojeek does.
