Must be. I had difficulties with it at one point, and I ended up living at the URL from some search results and was able to figure out what it wanted. I thought the missing slash might have been your issue.



I think Qwant is as close as you’re going to get unless you can set up searchxng to do what you are asking.

Now, you might be able to get better diversity in results if you use a vpn to move to more diverse or contrasting cities.

I often find news sources external to the US to be very interesting insights to what we see rammed down our throats.

Ahh, got it. That’s a feature I never used.


Do you need an email for it? I thought you could still use it without being logged in.


Have you kept a Google or Outlook email?
I've moved almost completely to Proton Mail. I expect I'll end up keeping a Google or Outlook account, not for use as a primary account, but as a recovery account or to access other services. I currently see a lot less value in the google account than outlook, but that's because my family does need access to full blown office. Libre office does 98% of what I need, but on occasion I do need office. An install of 2010 would probably meet that requirement as well. Firefox is set to delete cookies on exit, and I do not ever stay signed into these services. Does anyone else keep free service email accounts around, and if so, what do you use them for? What's the pit-fall I'm not seeing if I try to restrict them and treat them with the Principle of Least Privileged model?

Qwant and kagi have been a great pair. Brave search was good, but they had some controversy a bit back.


I think you’re either stuck writing a custom script or uploading to an online service that can do the mass update, then back out all your data. I had lastpass then ditched them after the breach when they didn’t clearly communicate user impact. The auto change password functionality was hit or miss for me, so if you go this route make sure you get the functionality you need from a company you can trust.

Though if you do this once with strong unique passwords, you shouldn’t have to do a mass update again, right?
