  • To me there is also a topic no one is ready to talk about : the way we search the web. I changed the way I search the web. Most of the time I need to browse the same websites so I added keywords search for those search.

    For Mojeek, I took time configuring “focuses” (a feature they have to limit the websites searched to a predefined subset).

    I reduced my need of search engines globally and now I’d say I use Mojeek and there’s 50% chance I need to go to DuckDuckGo because Mojeek failed to give me my answers. When I started using Mojeek, I almost never found answers so I’d say it got better!

    Google always suck for me except if I’m looking for products, the only domaineit shines but that’s kinda expected to be honest considering Google business model.


  • So many people are happy here. I can understand why but quick reminder that Qwant is not privacy friendly like they claim to be and that the CEO is a bastard who threatened employees.

    As for Ecosia, the only green they have is their name. Great they plant trees but they pushed AI so it’s basically like if they are destroying the trees they planted.

    There is a search engine with their own index from UK, privacy-friendly, it is called Mojeek. It is not as good as the others but I’ve been using it for maybe 4 months and it already improved a lot. They need users to give feedback and improve. Give it a try ! 😊







  • I used to but people behind are bastards so I don’t give money to them anymore.

    It made me think of how I use search engines and most of the time I go on the same websites so I try to avoid search engines.

    I use Mojeek with their focus feature (it is like lenses of Kagi). If I really need a search engine I use Mojeek with no focus, but most of the time the results are not good enough so I give them a feedback and go back on Duckduckgo.
