It's crazy how the wind changed. Does anyone remeber the almost exact same thing 4 years ago, when people on the right side of political spectrum shared alternatives to big tech from their point ov view? GAB.COM, PARLER, BRAVE, DUCKDUCKGO etc
XD
Duckduckgo? That's just a search engine, no?
I agree on the rest of the parts tho
Yeah, odd inclusion. Duckduckgo is indeed a search enginge, but it's essentially just a front end for Bing.
Sadly yes :( i've been keeping an eye on mojeek, hopefully it'll get better.
Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025
Very interesting, thanks for telling me - i recall them sharing your IP with bing/google? but since they're building their own, this may change. I'll keep an eye on this, thank you
Probably not, they sell your traffic data to plant trees, they're not privacy oriented its just that their greed serves a common good.
I’m so looking forward to that!
That sounds amazing!
DDG and Brave were pushed as "censorship free" alternatives, back when I was looking into covid disinformation, because the very obviously fake websites would sometimes rank higher on them
There may be more to it though
I've heard all kinds of bad rumours about Brave but idk if any of it is true.
They're balls deep in crypto but even the crypto bros don't buy their bullshit

I mean yeah, doesnt matter. The point is people shared alternatives to big tech just like folks who are not in the power right now. Cause apparently x is musk's and it looks like the consensus is that rest of big tech is siding with Trump for profit
I mistook it as you saying DDG is alt-tech. My mistake
In both cases it was primarily performative for Americans but this time there will be considerable chunk of Europeans who will be looking to leave big tech for services in non-hostile countries.
How is Brave right wing? Because of cryptocurrencies?
It’s not explicitly rightwing.
A couple years ago Musk was recommending Signal.
It’s just an example of right wing people recommending alternatives.
The CEO is problematic and right wing, for examples see the most recent paragraphs in his career section on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich
Wait, the Mozilla guy who got pressured to resign over opposition to gay marriage is the Brave guy?? Fuck him lol.
Unsurprising he’s also a dipshit about COVID.
"b-b-but he made javascript!!1!"
r/browsers on reddit is as dumb as rocks.
