The CEO of brave, Brendan Eich, is opposed to same-sex marriage.
They, too, are working on their own index, but I cannot support that company and would suggest you seek alternatives.

And, though Ecosia/DDG don’t always show what I want, it’s very easy to add a !g to my already existing query and get put through to google. Which is rare, mind you, but comes in handy every so often. Does that mean it sometimes takes a *bit* of effort to get the result I’m after? Yeah, but that is a sacrifice I’m happy to make when it comes to supporting alternatives.

This blacklist is a pretty neat way to block a good amount of those AI slop results.

I think you missed a part of their comment:

Block ads and use a different search engine?

Both Ecosia and DuckDuckGo have served me pretty well. Kagi also seems somewhat interesting.
Ecosia is working with Qwant on their own index, the first version of which has already gone online I believe. So they’re no longer exclusively relying on Bing/Google for their back-end.

Search engines will still give Wikipedia results at the top for relevant searches. Heck, you can search Wikipedia itself directly!

Both Ecosia and DuckDuckGo support some form of “bangs”, if I tack !w onto my search it’ll immediate go through to Wikipedia.
DuckDuckGo has even introduced an AI image filter, which is not perfect but still pretty good.

It’s because during (boasting?) exaggerated claims are often made, so it’s totally fiiiine and legal!

Consumer protection is such a sham.

I don’t think their recent drop is because of that video. Just personally curious, whether I should try to watch again as I did enjoy some of their output.

But if Nick leaves it unaddressed I guess I won’t.

Clean your URL’s, please.

I stopped watching Second Wind after Frost’s video.

Did they ever address it?

That’s from way back when. They shut production for a week, reassessed how they make things, and came back with the promise to be more thorough and not release a video when it’s just not done that day. And they have “missed” some days since.

They’ve got to keep their profit margins, or the CEO’s and shareholders might need to take a paycut.

That’s not what he said??

But doesn’t work on mobile

Not just that, I doubt the motor would be particularly happy with all the vibrations happening to it.

Fair. I could with Firefox, but I’m too lazy to configure all of that for myself.

Datacenters are often ahead on this, I believe.

DDG does add their own spice on to – or so they claim, and Bing doesn’t have bangs so I’d never want to use it.

In its early days, Qwant heavily relied on Bing’s API to provide search results. […]

Qwant began transitioning to its own indexing system in February 2013, but this process was gradual. The company started using its own engine for indexing social media accounts and the “shopping” part of search results, […]

Today, Qwant’s search results are a mix of its own indexed content and results pulled from Bing.

I was curious if it relied on Bing, as most 3rd party search engines do. Which seems to be the case.

The current Switch still selling as much as it does proves that performance doesn’t really matter.
