Since DuckDuckGo has decided to regionalize all my search results even when no region is selected (why?!? 😩),

Making my work impossible (I don't spend my day writing about Canada DuckDuckGo! πŸ™„),

I have started to use @Mojeek and I must say that it is a real joy. I find what I'm looking for much quicker, no patronizing regionalization based on IP, and no AI pollution. It feels like I found back the 2010s web and I'm here for it.

Thank you Mojeek πŸ’š

@Em0nM4stodon @Mojeek

I completely agree. Mojeek is a fantastic independent project, but I have actually moved on to @MetaGer after using Mojeek for awhile.

Since it is run by a non-profit (Mojeek is for-profit) and the code is fully open source (Mojeek is not open-source), MetaGer ticks all of the Freedom 1 boxes for me. The Open Anonymously proxy feature is also great for privacy. I don’t mind the small donation to keep it independent. Especially to get away from the forced regionalization and tracking of other engines.
