It used to be https://mysearchengine.co/homepage, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. It now redirects to https://hmsrchrdr.com/.

What is going on?

It's possible that the domain for the search engine you were using got sold. You'll have to find a new one.

Sounds like you got malware.

[–] specialwall@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, it does not. mysearchengine.co/homepage literally redirects to the domain that the user mentioned.
