Explain yourself Jow Forums

The @ sign as a means of mentioning other users actually rose to prominence with Twitter :)

>ddg
>started by a dataminer
Might as well fucking use Google and Bing
I personally prefer searx

>searx
Nice Mossad botnet you have there.

You're missing the point.

@69590229
You're missing (You)s

The “@“ thing on Jow Forums started in president trump general threads. The boomers that came here from reddit missed the ability to publicly downvote a post, so they came up with the idea of replying with “@“. Hence the name, the boomer downvote.
Now you know.

I use Brave and DuckDuckGo
it's the best for freedom and privacy

why wouldnt they just use reddit?

I use firefox with librefox settings, works ok for me. Brave had too many unremovable spyware.
>aww you turned bae rewards off? have this shitty triangle take up your space anyway
>aww you want custom adblock? no
>aww our browser still phones to google? you don't have anything to hide
>awww you want to remove this certain preinstalled extension? no
sorry I gave brave multiple chances, they just refuse to give me what I want

user if you found installing apps on ungoogled chromium to be a pain just install iridium and disable google safebrowsing.

What's annoying to me is that it doesn't update them, same goes for Iridium.

>You do care about privacy, don't you?
Indeed I do, that is why I use IceCat + Librefox configs and Searx, to mention nothing of the rest of my setup. Nobody's falling for this stupid (((meme))).

You can't even turn off the tracking that comes with it.

Time for you to kill yourself faggot.

What are you talking about.

But I do

According to the Iridium maintainers at least you can't have automatic updates without phoning home to google play, and I guess they didn't consider it acceptable to leave that bit in while taking out everything else.

the gay ass search engine that you have dedicated your life to shilling for

well no shit
>the tracking that comes with it
what did he mean by this

Searx tracks you idiot

Do people seriously believe that ddg doesn't collect your data?

I'm best friends with ungoogled chromium and startpage.
Fite me.

CuckFuckBlow won't let me search for obscure music track downloads. Yandex got me what I wanted repeatedly in the top three results. Fancy that.

>what did he mean by this
the tracking that comes with it, which you cant even turn off lmao

Let me guess, Brave is the new NSA darling, and somehow DDG owner is back to his old tricks.

there's your proof

You will stick out like a sore thumb with that combination, stick to whatever normies use with false names so that your collected data will just dilute with millions more like yours

You either glow in the dark or you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. That's not how 'data' works.

if brave adds an options to hide/remove bat, built in ad blocker and their startpage then ok, i might use it.

You, they track you, dumbass

But that how fingerprinting works

Why not use Qwant or even the Russian Yandex if you are going to go with services that sell your data. Brave is really not different than Google Chrome.

*tracks you*

Because they were the ones getting down voted there

You can hide and disable both and use Ublock at least in the dev version. --disable-brave-extension --disable-brave-rewards-extension also you can just use new tab redirect.

Werks in stable too, just checked. Thanks.

Yeah, bitch, work those Eich dirty bux, you slut. Oh, I love it when you shill here, you dirty ass Brave ho.

Shift just ended, seeya again tomorrow.

Brave is less spyware than Firefox according to your shitty meme website

Dress pretty tomorrow, just for me, and wax your ass.

OK I will do sir

IMAGINE USING A PROPRIETARY BROWSER
WITH KNOWN PRIVACY ISSUES
A HALF-BAKED ADBLOCKER THAT JUST REPLACES ADS WITH THEIR OWN
BASED ON GOOGLEBOTNET
AND THEN USING A SUPPOSEDLY PRIVACY-FRIENDLY SEARCH ENGINE
THAT VIOLATES ITS OWN PRIVACY POLICY
FOUNDED BY A LITERAL KIKE
WHO IS NOTORIOUS FOR SELLING USER DATA
RUN BY A US COMPANY
ON AMAZON SERVERS

user... Don't you see vans pulling over on the other side of the street? Strangers in suits suddenly frequent public places where you usually buy groceries?
I swear, this is happening to me after I used duckduckgo to search what is cheese pizza
Afterwards I've uninstalled every proprietary software and use gnu icecat for everyday stuff
And if I search for something shady I always use tor from live USB on my librebooted thinkpad
I've searched my room for any suspicious electronic devices, but fortunately found nothing
This doesn't mean that they can't listen from the vans...
When I whisper to myself something I don't want others to hear, I always turn music on nearly max volume so they won't hear me
user, look around you, for something unusual happening, never trust anyone

>i literally can't fucking read

Why would I use anything but a well configured IceCat, please kill yourself for shilling such a pathetic excuse for a browser

It's not paranoia when they're out to get you.
If you haven't come to understand that they are, in fact, out to get you by now, then I can't help you.

They are, I see them everywhere I go

You're trying to troll me into the conclusion that you're a schizo and therefore I must be too.
I'm obviously not refering to black-clad spooks tailing you at the grocery store when I say "they".

I'm not, user. You're probably safe, until do something as stupid as I. Don't look up things with duckduckgo
Things that might incriminate you

You've convinced me to switch.

Still waiting for an answer on why Searx is bad...

...

It's not bad, it just sucks lately. Some time ago it started failing to get images from bing and google.

kek fuck off back to instagram. thats a first

Waterfox + searx here

Let's finally shake the table and talk about how all these advocates for "Privacy" are actually just criminals looking for software to use online for communication and browsing that works in their best interests to cover up their criminal activity, most likely child porn and activities bordering on cyber-terrorism.

If you didn't have anything like that to hide, why would you care so much about privacy?

Checkmate, losers. You cannot debate this so I will be closing this thread and not even looking at it anymore. I already know there is no counter-point to my statements because it's indeed a fact. Hopefully you weirdos get caught and thrown in prison.

The only qualm I have with searx is its image viewer.
It's a shame, pretty much every aspect of it ranks it superior than other search engines besides it's awful image search.
Not being able to filter by size is a deal breaker already, let alone the poor accuracy.
But yeah, I have no idea wtf the critics in this thread are talking about. Literal gibberish. There's an issue with illiteracy on Jow Forums lately, they might be part of it.

Searx was made by Jews.
