This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Love the fact that even when committing to the bit about being anti-privacy they still know the internet is functionally unusable without an adblocker
Also I'm about to say something ignorant as hell but: Isn't a Browser the same thing as a Search Engine?
Nope, Browser is the tool, the software to reach internet. Like a phone. Search Engine is more like the phone book of URL reference. And you use it with keywords
The browser is the software to use the internet and a search engine essentially scans the entire accessible web for the words you type in to it and shows you where they are.
Browsers are the app you click on: google chrome, firefox, Microsoft edge, safari
Search engines are a website you go to on that app. If you type something in the top bar of your browser that is not a link, browsers will automatically enter that into a search engine.: google search, Bing, duckduckgo, ecosia, startpage
Browser is an app on your computer
Search engines are apps on other people’s computers that you access via a website
