much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Google also replaces your Google searches with different searches behind the scenes to things they can make money off kf. Found that out the other day, and switched to duckduckgo instead. Google has become a Spyware nightmare.
If anyone isn't familiar with this here's the Wired article
I figured this out when I searched for my gaming web page on itch.io, and it wouldn't come up. But then I went to duckduckgo and did the search, and every game I've made was in the search result. Pretty scummy if you ask me. Needless to say I changed all my browsers to duckduckgo instead of google.
By browsers do you mean search engines in the browsers? I use DDG for search. Firefox is king, browsers wise.
Yes, I meant search engine. I also use Firefox as well :)
I thought DDG was some kind of front end for Google search. How wrong am I, and if I'm right, does this mean it's the Google search in, e.g., Chrome browser that's doing this? Otherwise how would DDG be avoiding it?
I thought it was Bing? I’m not sure lol. I’ve noticed the drop in Google searches quality lately and switched to DDG.
Seems much better now imo.
You are correct. Bing.
I could be completely wrong, may the gods of the Internet forgive me.
