But like, OP, legitimately, have you joined the church of hardened Firefox yet? We can save your eternal data from marketing damnation, and unreservedly block ads.
Switched from edge to Firefox recently. While edge is extremely good and the user experience is about the same, I did it in protest to Google/chromium.
Also started using duckduckgo. Was a good choice.
I switched from DuckDuckGo to SearXNG to Whoogle to LibreX and finally to Startpage, all so I don’t have to get results only from Bing
I’m using Phind. It’s presumably using Google search, but it skips all the bloat and ads, skips clicking through the links one by one, and rummaging through articles full of more ads and annoying popups. Then it summarizes everything with sources, if I ever need to go to the page directly (which I mostly don’t need to). And it supports bangs for Google and DDG, if you need to go old-school.
My issue with Phind is its developer oriented, and has been quite slow in my experience with their new model.
Does using librewolf make me an evangelical Christian?
So this is what Lemmy users look like.
I have this weird belief that I’ll know it when I meet one in person. Rationally I know I probably won’t know, but part of me fully expects to run into someone gushing about Star Trek and Linux and communism (or some other stereotypically Lemmy thing) and just instantly know this person uses Lemmy without even needing to ask
Do you want to talk about Linux?
Hey, I think that’s what !linux@lemmy.world is for.
I am on Ubuntu right now, my first full time use distro. I am thinking of jumping to Mint though next. I installed Ubuntu onto huge partition though so I’d have to erase and start over and that’s giving me pause. Whatever I use next has to alloe me to do work (office apps), play Steam games and work in the debian style at the terminal. I’m open to suggestions…
