minus-squarerdri@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·1 年前 Thanks for your visit Unfortunately we are not yet available in your country. And no way to set my country.
minus-squareaffiliate@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 年前you could set your country with a vpn 😎
minus-squarerdri@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 年前That’s less than optimal, for a website that is to be used as a search engine.
minus-squareiturnedintoanewt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 年前They also don’t allow country/located results but then in English. Hell, English is one of the legally accepted languages of this country :(
minus-squareGot_Bent@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 年前Whoa. I did a search that would inevitably bring nothing but sponsored bullshit on Google - “best tires” My results were cartalk, consumer reports, cnet, and the consumer insider. Nary a national chain trying to sell me something in sight.
minus-squareslumberlust@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 年前Aren’t all of those sites just more adverts masquerading as information?
minus-squareR0cket_M00se@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 年前That’s the biggest problem, can’t even get straight data and ads separately. Now the articles are the ads, and SEO/adspace has made search results even less useful.
minus-squareasteriskeverything@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 年前Comments are the ads now too.
minus-squareR0cket_M00se@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 年前Yeah especially with LLM models, now you can automate your shills.

minus-squarebaseless_discourse@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 年前I think they got removed from privacy guide unfortunately. https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/pull/342 I want to support a European based service, but unfortunately I have to stick with DDG for now.
minus-squaremaness300@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 年前I wonder why Firefox isn’t listed in their mobile web browsers.
minus-squarebaseless_discourse@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前They actually explained that Android browsers must use the Chromium engine. Unfortunately, Mozilla GeckoView is still less secure than Chromium on Android. probably referring to the lack of pre-process site isolation on firefox.
