amosOh cool, DuckDuckGo now accepts pay-for-placement and doesn't review ads manually and so, now scam websites are in first position.
Cool cool cool.

TheRed&BlackOne@fasterthanlime why aren't yall using Brave?
Reay Jespersen@TheRednBlackOne @fasterthanlime I tried Brave for a while. I was a bit irritated by not being able to pin wanted links on the home page. It kept replacing them with where I'd recently been, instead.
That was small.
But when one of its ads -- the ones I signed up to get credit for, I forget the term -- slid in *over top of my word processor I was working on* (Brave was running in the background, but it ran an ad over the full-screen program I was using on top of that), I was done with it.
@reay @fasterthanlime I've never had that. I quite like not having to use an ad block extension.
@TheRednBlackOne @fasterthanlime They hadn't heard of it, either, when I contacted them about it. In fact they had no idea how it even COULD happen, where effectively something in the background forces into the foreground over a third party full-screen program. Which I totally believe -- I know it's still relatively early days for the browser and team and bugs are still getting worked out -- but it certainly happened, so that was the last straw for me as far as the browser goes.
