@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social yeah that's when I immediately stopped using google (would never have started, but the others eventually died) and moved to ddg. And then they started ignoring them as well (and later doing regurgibot shit lawl), so I immediately moved to startpage
I genuinely don't understand HOW people tolerate it. It's not even complicated, but 95% of searches require a "search phrase" to do the very basic fucking purpose of a search engine, and not just random unrelated Algorithmic bullshit

@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social (and of course, startpage recently started dabbling in pissbots. I'd be gone already if ANY of the alternatives I tried weren't also gargling googlepiss and/or ignoring operators and thus completely fucking useless)
