Are you privacy conscious enough to want to switch away from mainstream surveillance browsers, but not quite far enough down the rabbit hole to spend your

Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong, please? I'm in the #Vivaldi browser this time. I cannot load #DuckDuckGo - nor search it from the address bar.

I can load and search using other browsers, so it's not my connection, firewall etc.

Other search engines load fine, including AstianGo.

I have not messed with the security settings in Vivaldi, except to try and whitelist DuckDuckGo to make sure it's not blocked.

Thanks!

@Vivaldi

Switched from #duckduckgo to #ecosia. Search results seem (subjectively) better, but I'm really missing the !dblp shortcut (other shortcuts exists, though). #dblp

You, too, can be a shitty cop if you use DuckDuckGo or Bing!

De temps en temps, je reteste #qwant en lieu et place de mon habituel #duckduckgo.

Et une fois de plus, après 2 jours d'usage plutôt OK, une raison de ne pas switcher : depuis ce matin, Qwant m'affiche des "temporairement indisponible / 403" pour toutes mes recherches 😩

@gimulnautti that's so horrible.. He is definitely taking money from AIPAC too so that's not great at all.

He also got pepper sprayed at the same protest trying to de escalate the situation so.. wow yeah. That's just a lot to process. The Guardian has an article and there are also videos of him getting water poured on his eyes so it's definitely legit.

Other than that "Left" and "Right" are difficult terms to use when talking internationally I've found.. It seems like the meaning is generally the same across the US but differs from country to country in Europe so idk

It's pretty scary and chaotic in the U.S. right now but there are people fighting!! The other NJ Senator Cory Booker is vegan(only vegan senator in the US) which is pretty awesome but he has also taken a shit ton of aipac money.

I tried to google these pictures on #duckduckgo and I could not find anything I wonder why duckduckgo would be covering that up... *shrug*

Here's the pics btw

What's good for Google's investors must also be good for DuckDuckGo (https://www.techdirt.com/2026/06/11/why-googles-new-ai-saturated-search-page-will-be-a-disaster/). Seriously, has anyone else switched to DuckDuckGo as their default search engine?

Google didn’t invent full-text search of the Internet – that honor belongs to early pioneers such as WebCrawler, Lycos and AltaVista. But for the last 25 years or so, Google has…
