      You print and mail your data? You could really cut out a step by getting their fax number.

        Make sure to page them first so they know to go pick it up.

    Love the fact that even when committing to the bit about being anti-privacy they still know the internet is functionally unusable without an adblocker

    Also I’m about to say something ignorant as hell but: Isn’t a Browser the same thing as a Search Engine?

      Nope, Browser is the tool, the software to reach internet. Like a phone. Search Engine is more like the phone book of URL reference. And you use it with keywords

      The browser is the software to use the internet and a search engine essentially scans the entire accessible web for the words you type in to it and shows you where they are.

      Browsers are the app you click on: google chrome, firefox, Microsoft edge, safari

      Search engines are a website you go to on that app. If you type something in the top bar of your browser that is not a link, browsers will automatically enter that into a search engine.: google search, Bing, duckduckgo, ecosia, startpage

      Browser is an app on your computer

      Search engines are apps on other people’s computers that you access via a website

    Is that the guy that has nothing to hide?

    Who’s whining about rising subscription prices in times of lesser quality in movies and tv shows?

    Who’s whining about not being able to get a raise because “we can’t afford to give everyone raises in this economy”?

    Who’s whining because insurances are so expensive and never pay up?

    Who has given up both control over his own information and control over where to get his knowledge from?

    Who can no longer own media, or cars, or appliances without paying a monthly subscription that “this time for sure not getting worse over time”?

    Who has given up his freedom?

      Why 5 instances of Searxng? Do you get very different results with each? I pretty much always use the same one…

      nah they still spy on you using the American ways until EU realises and tells them to stop, but it doesn’t happen instantly and there’s always new bullshit to stop them from doing

      It’s still a problem in the EU,
      less then in the USA,
      however still a rather big problem.

        At least in the US we know who’s after us (everyone), so there’s that.
