AFAIK Startpage gives you google results with your privacy intact and less ads.

Who still uses Google? DDG has been way better for a long while now. Join the duck side.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Uses Bing results.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago

So that's why it's so good at finding porn.

  <form method="GET" action="https://duckduckgo.com/">
    <input name="q" type="text"/>
    <button type="submit">Go</button>
  </form>

This is a fully functional search bar. This is all it needs to be. It doesn't need Javascript, only if you want suggestions.

The last time I checked, Google still works if you simply pass your query in the URL using the q variable. Google has no need to enforce Javascript.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Can't tell if because of spyware or because the poor intern they hired to maintain the site for the next month only knows JS frontends lol

Google is no longer a Search Engine. It is a commerce/purchase search. It's nothing more than ads and corporate results to purchase goods & services. Google Shopping has taken over Google.

I just disabled Javascript and Google still works fine. It might be only Google's mobile site that requires it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Could very well be a mobile thing. I was pretty annoyed recently when logging into gcal for work on my phone, it refused to let me sign in without giving them my cell phone number. When I switched to wifi, it stopped bugging me, so clearly they pay attention to that sort of signal.

DuckDuckGo doesn't ;)

By the way, in my browser, the title of this post shows up as

Google now requires Javascript in c/mildlyinfuriating

which shocked me a little.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I hate how these kinds of messages never explain WHY. It's just "Do it. Do what we tell you." 💀

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

For ads, tracking and spying of course.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Because they dont need to

BOW TO YOUR MASTERS, AND SUCK OUR DICK!!!!

I remember 10 years ago looking at a calculator app in the android app store, and seeing the permissions. And thinking "WHY THE FUCK DOES A CALCULATOR NEED MY LOCATION, AND ACCESS TO MY PHONE CONTACTS???"

Fuck THAT.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What dick? pretty sure it's fallen off from all the STD's.

You're still using Google search?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes, yeah. My default is DDG, and I also use Kagi, but Google is still good at some stuff. Guess I'll take the hit and just stop using it completely though. Kagi has been good enough, and also lets me search the fediverse for finding that dank meme I saw last week. Google used to be able to do that, but can't shove as many ads in those queries I assume, so they dropped that ability.
