Yep, that's... me.
Gulp
there might be ublock origin or greasemonkey shit to prevent them changing the doodle.
if a blank white page is acceptable there's always about:blank
Oh good point
Use duckduckgo for the day (or every day) instead. Or Bing, it basically is the same as google.
Bing Is Not Google
It's a good enough substitution for one fuckin day
read the first letter of each word
Aww shit it's a recursive acronym. Those things are LAME
I mean, there are other ways to have minimalist pages, but a search page is usually more convenient for me.
That's all.
Idk... as far as I can tell, the only way I suppose is to avoid it
I suppose you have mozilla or bing here...
I do.
Then why ye strugglin', it seems, even with other browsers?
Oh, I still prefer Firefox; I don't use other browsers anymore because people here convinced me to use Mozilla Firefox
Damn, i forgot about that. Havent used google in years
Do you use Bing? Ecosia?
I might switch to another search engine.
I use searx specifically baresearch. I use it for privacy reasons but i know thats not for everyone so id also recommend duckduckgo
If you arent familiar with searx kinda like a federated search engine, you an instance of searx or locally host an instance. The privacy comes from the multitudes of people using that instance mixing their data with yours
Searx, eh?
Yeah, I might use DuckDuckGo.
To be fair searx does pull from 70 search engines including google so the search results arent bad at all. Only problem ive encountered is sometimes i thinks im speaking language and all the results dont make sense.
Also its foss <3
If youre a real nut like me it can also be used over tor
they should ditch one engine
Whats one engine?
also how dare you call demoncracy a fed smh
one the quantity
Ohhhhhhh, im a lil tired. Didnt sleep last night
