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?

[-] rayf@lemmy.zip 29 points 2 months ago

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

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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
