Do you know how SearXNG works? It literally pulls search results from whatever other SEs you define it should pull from. You just get to reap the perks of all engines, without having to deal with their antagonistic design.
Who pays for all of it in the end? The people who still want to use Google's service and feed their all-reaching tentacles. But that is their choice.
Yeah, that's the thing about Sear. You can customise it how you want and that's it. No need to let some corpo be in control of what and how you see your results.
Yikes. Thanks
Is that real, or a misinterpretation of the law?
I meant to say SearXNG. Still being maintained.
I've tried SearXNG and stayed there. And it costs me a whole 0€ per month. 10€/month for a search engine is insane.
Wasn't Google in the middle of an antitrust investigation?
China does everything better than the US. iPhones are made in China.
For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:
What could Russia do today that would cement themselves as an unparalleled oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for anybody else in their country, that the US isn't already doing?
Yep, this is the explanation. People are still trying to rationalize "why do this in months, its all gonna collapse!" not understanding that collapse is the actual point.
Its not the EUs fault that US companies keep breaking the law. Don't break the law, don't get fined. It really is simple. EU companies aren't getting these fines.
