Well I said Google but ideally that would be "a healthy market of several competing quality search engines".

Right now I think we only have Google and Bing. (Lots of alternatives like DuckDuckGo ultimately use Google I think)

It's increasing taking up the role of one. And I'm sad about it.

I might stop being sad if its forum features become more used and Discord massively improved discoverability, but for now it sucks for people googling problems.

Marvelous. Thanks. Now I can make those super user-hostile websites usable.

Edit: wow blocking ads breaks a lot of interactivity on Fextralife though. The programming is weird I guess🤔

I kinda wish we'd kept the name chariot. It sounds more epic.

Any ideas for ad blockers that work with a blacklist rather than the contrary?

I don't want to harm the revenue stream of websites I visit unless their ads are unacceptable. So I want it not blocking ads by default. But I'd really like a way to block the website-breaking ads at Fextralife Elden Ring wiki. That shit is crazy; it breaks the search bar until EVERY ad (including autoplay video, even though I disabled autoplay video in settings) has fully loaded.

I do almost all of my browsing with Firefox for Android.

Even without ranked choice it would be an upgrade to be rid of the college

Will that ruin my phone's battery?

Also what if I'm someone poor using an extremely basic smartphone to connect to the internet?

It's an excellent chat program (except it's pretty buggy on mobile). But it doesn't function well as a forum replacement. The lack of discoverability is a big problem.

What do you mean everywhere? I've never seen that in Canada.

Sorry. Did a direct translation of the French name without thinking.

I'd never questioned it before now, but ... How come the towers move? Who had that idea?

The jesters moving diagonally because they're whimsical I guess but the towers are quite odd.

So it's called xlarge... And it makes files smaller.

Why.
