It's a good thing Google posts the DMCA order so I can see what the URL is so I can never visit it ^by^ ^accident^
Oh, wow, nobody now could ever guess what the URL is.
Maybe it will drive more people to alternative search engines.
I'm genuinely contemplating paying for kagi at this point. Only one I haven't heard people (fairly) talking shit about recently.
I've paid for kagi for a few years, I would definitely recommend it!

It's possible. Search engines are just big reference databases.
They have crawlers that search the web based on links to each other and then save metadata about the pages.
There are some projects already that you can use.
The problem is the data, if everyone of us have to build it ourselves it's going to be tedious, and more importantly biased to however you are scraping.
Me too. I used it by default during allowed trial period and found it to be pretty good.
Would recommend. Been using it for a couple years now, and it actually feels gross when I end up on Google.
You will hear shit from a small group on Lemmy about how they also use Yandex for search results, but it's a pretty hollow argument that keeps being used as some big "gotcha". But if that's a turn off for you, it is what it is.
All we need are a few .onion mirrors
TBH if there are no .onion mirrors, it's not a serious anti-censorship project
We need more I2P not Tor
Different designs, different strengths, different threat models
As someone genuinely curious, can you elaborate on this please?
Mmm, juicy censorship.
