Why aren't you using searx.me Sup Forums?

1) It's opensource
2) It's a meta search-engine, you can get all the results from Google minus their "personalization"
3) Way more choices/config options than Google
4) Not a botnet

I trust Google.

B-but I'm using it already, user!
cuck

Searx in general. Not only .me, as I support laquadrature.net I often use their version.

>Why aren't you using searx.me
I am.

hello redd.it

what's the diff

>searching for some band name
>get porn
wow, google save from this!

>implying wouldn't be a pleasant surprise
get a load of this faggot

I want a safe place to search, not this degeneracy!

And I said porn, not just girls

I use DDG on a daily basis, I don't see the point of switching. Maybe you do?

DDG does a lot of what Google does on a lesser level. Read up on this history.

Plus, the results are shit.

Wait, does this mean I'll be able to search "boobs" and get actual porn again?

I had this problem too but it turns out safe search is turned off by default, just turn it in preferences and you're good to go

>no dark-as-my-soul theme

>want to look up a band
>get porn
>switch on safe search lol

Fuck off retard, google is much better

ebin

>implying I use Google.
I use Bing, faggit, lol.
They give me gift cards from Bing Rewards for doing searches.

I like free $$

And your argument is invalid anyway:
>Why aren't you using searx.me Sup Forums?
Only just heard of it now
>1) It's opensource
So? Firefox is open source, and it sucks shit. I use IE (primary) and Chrome (secondary).
>2) It's a meta search-engine, you can get all the results from Google minus their "personalization"
Lol, don't care.
>3) Way more choices/config options than Google
I use Bing (like 97% of the time), so this doesn't apply.
And Bing gives me $$
>4) Not a botnet
This word is thrown around a lot. I don't think most of you faggitz know what a 'botnet' is.
A botnet is a network of zombified computers "bots" used to perform illicit activity, such as DDOS attacks and stuff.
Neither Google nor Bing does this activity. That isn't to say they don't collect data on people, but it is by no means a 'botnet'.

It doesn't find shit

this has to be satire

You want me to act more serious?
>>Why aren't you using searx.me Sup Forums?
Literally just heard of it now.
But I'm satisfied with Bing
) It's opensource
I really do, legitimately, disapprove of most open-source software.
And, not coincidentally, Firefox DOES suck shit. I use IE11, but FF is worse than the IE9 I had to use in high school.
I don't have a problem, particularly, with OSS by choice, but I usually associate OSS with "GPL", and THAT I DO particularly disapprove of.
) It's a meta search-engine, you can get all the results from Google minus their "personalization"
Yeah, ok, I legitimately don't care.
) Way more choices/config options than Google
Again, legitimately don't care. I really DO use Bing b/c gift cards. And it's just as good as Google. PLUS, Bing finds me good hentai.
) Not a botnet
This is bullshit and horse dix, and I'm tired of seeing it.

But, was the original post 'satire'? No, just trying to be more humorous than outright flame the thread.

for reference, because someone might want to take my post very slightly out of context, I am NO LONGER in high school.
I'll be finishing my Bachelor's degree this coming Spring.
I will have just turned 23 at that time, too, so I'm definitely over 18 and can use this site.

>average animeposter

Degree in being a complete fucking retard?

Did you just imply any version of IE is better than FireFox?

>Degree in being a complete fucking retard?
Nah, a cross-curriculum degree in Business Administration and Information Technology. I took Proposal Writing this past Fall, and I'll be taking Software Engineering this coming Spring.

>Did you just imply any version of IE is better than FireFox?
I'd be hard-pressed to put Firefox much higher than fucking Midori, that shit-tier browser I tried on a Fedora distro like 2 years ago.
But, alas, FF DOES support the new CSS styles, so it has Midori beat there.
FF is objectively the worst mainstream browser on the market. IE11 is on par with Chrome, but Chrome has a bunch of shitty glitches. For instance, IE doesn't handle YouTube's "F" key to fullscreen my videos, but Chrome constantly loses focus for some reason, so even when I switch back to the browser, I can't pause without clicking the screen. I can't be assed to move my hand from the keyboard to the mouse. Mouse requires fine-positioning. Keyboard requires alt-tab, space
Opera is a ripoff of Chrome. Don't use it, but it can't be that bad if it's using Chromium now.
FF, on the other hand, offers error-reporting for JavaScript. And is, BY FAR, the most vulnerable of browsers while simultaneously trying to "protect me" by blocking college sites that haven't renewed their security cert (but are still secure). Lovely.

>Business admin and IT

Guess my sides will be gone until after lunch.

this thread went from mild to full autism

>Guess my sides will be gone until after lunch
It's funny how you say that, but it was just my way of switching from Business Admin to Computer Science without a bunch of extra Math classes.
Discrete Mathematics will be my last Math class I NEED for my BS. I won't need Calc II, II, Diff Equations, etc.
I'll be going back after, but I wanna get my BS in less time.

My last year looked like:
Sys Analysis and Design, Data Structures and Algorithms (in which I learned Java, because I had literally never used Java before), Web Sys Dev, Database Systems, an Info Ethics class, and a couple business classes.

The only classes I have remaining are:
a networking class, information assurance, HCI, software engineering, project mgt, and discrete maths.
The only difference between me and a straight-CS major is I took less Calculus, and you might've taken an extra Physics class than me.

...

Why does everyone hate personalised results? When I search anonymously I get all kinds of irrelevant bullshit in the top few resulst.

because of the info you provide and they permanently store to get those results.

And? They already have it so they're not much point switching now is there. And why should I care if they know what my interests are?

You either care or you don't. I don't have the motivation or desire to educate you.

>Bing, IE, Windows...

What does Steve Balmer's ass taste like? Since you lick it so much.

Also, what phone OS do you use? Cuz if you use WP10 you are beyond repair.

Am using startpage, how is searx better?

>What does Steve Balmer's ass taste like? Since you lick it so much.
It's not like I believe Windows is truly fantastic. But it IS better than Linux.
Linux has objectively better code, true. As do ALL *NIX systems. But it's a matter of usability. Mac is useable, though highly incompatible, which is entirely against the UNIX philosophy. So, fuck Apple and it's bullshit.
Windows has OBJECTIVELY bad code. They SHOULD have completely abandoned everything related to DOS and the .NET framework after XP, but they kept it up. They were sitting on an objectively superior UNIX implementation, Xenix, which they should've used for Vista and beyond.
They're dumbasses for not doing so.

I originally started using IE11 because of their anime mascot. However, although it's arguable whether or not it's the best (Edge WOULD be with extension support, so I'm waiting for that to exit beta), but it IS GOOD. And the fact that it's integrated with the OS and Windows Defender enables it to have high security.
Chrome has their sandboxing, yes, and that's good, but the browser itself doesn't really work with my videos (which doesn't make a shitbit of sense, since YouTube is OWNED and operated by Alphabet/Google.)

Bing is and always was entirely a stroke of luck for them. Back years ago, I actually responded to the "Why did you uninstall Bing Toolbar" saying that I don't use Bing, I use Google.
If it wasn't for Bing Rewards, I probably never woulda started, but their hentai selection from lack of filtering adult content IS a nice plus.
I couldn't go back to Google, which will filter all my Cirno pr0nz and unrelated ecchi, yuri, and tentacles (and weird shit).

>Also, what phone OS do you use? Cuz if you use WP10 you are beyond repair.
Android. IDK what version. I have a flip phone (Samsung Convoy III)

If/when I ever DO get a smartphone, it would likely be either a Galaxy or a Nokia Lumia. I wouldn't turn down a Windows Phone, though, but I have no real preference. However, I'm waiting for 400+ standing hour battery life. No one ever calls me, and I hardly ever get text messages, but I can't have a dead phone in an emergency because I left it unplugged for 5 days straight, turned on. Right now, I think my phone has standing battery life of like 15-20 days. It's also a great media player. Never even needed to use my old iPod for music since I got this phone.
>interesting story: I fell asleep with it playing music on speaker once, and then woke up and forgot about it. Took a shower and all that.. Total of 11 hours later, I still had 25% battery on it after finding it under my bed. THAT'S the kind of battery life I rely on.

this, I'd like to know too
also, how does qwant compare?

didn't mean to sage

oy vey, lots of stupid threads here these days, glad to see even something like this now

Why does google let these type of search engines access their search results?

Good goyim, I hope you use chrome as well.

...?

Google lets everyone access their search results, why is this any different?

They don't if they think you're spamming queries. Have you not gotten captchas before? Why are these search engines given special treatments when they're taking away potential revenue?

>uses dmca cucked torrentz.eu for torrent searches
garbage

bump

How is the image search with searx?
Can it show nsfw pics like startpage?

Searx is good besides the fact you get porn for almost any search if you don't change the preferences.

duckduckgo.com/bang

Qwant is actually much better and has it's own algorithm .

This site can’t provide a secure connection

searx.me uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_OBSOLETE_CIPHER
HIDE DETAILS
Unsupported protocol
The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite.

wew

Look at these faggots who think they are big shit and that google wants to know which animes they like hahaha

I highly doubt they are, they probably just scrape. Google has a search API but it's shit, limited to like 10k queries daily and they charge for it.

Someone's mad.

Why do you think Qwant doesn't track you?

>4) Not a botnet
This is for you youtu.be/cebFWOlx848?t=468

Google literally does want to know that

You're right, Google is my friend and definitely not an evil corporation logging everything about me to use for whatever reasons they want whenever they want.

Thanks for clearing that up .

watch the video again

The video doesn't explain away facts. It's not just a meme that Google collects data. They openly state that they do it. PRISM showed that they were even involved with the US Govt, and had little to no qualms about sharing that data with them.

>The video doesn't explain away facts
it does? even proof is given

No, retard. It just shows that a lot of "facts" that people believe aren't facts.

In the case of Google, it's supported by overwhelming evidence as well as their own fucking admission.

Kill yourself.

So he can sell me more anime that I want?

Sounds fucking devilish.

>No, retard.
Yes, retard.

>It just shows that a lot of "facts" that people believe aren't facts.
and it does so by giving proof

>In the case of Google, it's supported by overwhelming evidence as well as their own fucking admission.
that "evidence" of yours is in realit- well just watch the video again, maybe then youll understand

Does your mother know what kind of dumb asshole she birthed?

Do you think she's ashamed?

I do.

>hes trying to prove a point
>points a google themselves saying the exact opposite of what he proposed in the first place

do i really need to fucking spoonfeed you? of course they know what websites im on, how else would they be able to autocomplete them in chrome otherwise? are you fucking dense?

but at no point on this page does it say anything along the lines of "working together with the US govt." or "surveillance". youre seriously a fucking nigger shit retard son of a bitch dumbass. I hate people like you so god damn much .you take something an- well just watch the video again

>points a google
points to google*

is that the user from /csg/'s sister?

>points a google themselves saying the exact opposite of what he proposed in the first place
Did you even open the link he gave you. They list everything they collect. I bet you also believe they destroy the data when you ask them to. Spoiler, they only mark it as deleted. It remains in their databases.

You suck at rhetoric, your ad hominems are shit, you don't know how to properly debate. Fuck off

I know. so what? that doesnt change facts

>your ad hominems are shit
that was no ad hominem. i literally refuted his central point by making clear that, what he claimed to be true, can NOWHERE be found on that given link.


>I bet you also believe they destroy the data when you ask them to. Spoiler, they only mark it as deleted. It remains in their databases.
what do i care? i didnt even know theres a "delete my data" button. I have certainly never used it before

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)
I know what prism is

>gizmodo.com/confirmed-nsa-paid-google-microsoft-others-millions-1188615332
thats a 3 paragraph long article. what exactly is this supposed to prove? when i followed one of the links it said something along the lines of "the guardian obtained [...]". can I just ask you how exactly a shitty newspaper is supposed to obtain secret data?
>inb4 its all snowden leaking it

>huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/20/nsa-prism-tech-companies_n_4999378.html
i like this one the most. just reading the title alone "NSA: Tech Companies Knew About PRISM The Whole Time" gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. because obviously, and this is a logic step, if tech companies knows that someone tries to spy on them, THEY have the advantage to protect themselves against it via something called ENCRYPTION. you might wanna check on google's domains, they are all encrypted when accessing them.

and again, some stupid article is not proof.


also i have a question: if google is giving away all my data, why am i not in jail yet?

>5:10
p≠np

STOP

>95
it's slow

What? I didn't ask about APIs and scraping. How does that affect google's ability to ban them?

>They list everything they collect. I bet you also believe they destroy the data when you ask them to. Spoiler, they only mark it as deleted. It remains in their databases.
Did you even fucking read his post you imbred, because this has fuck all to do with what he was talking about.

You suck at rhetoric, your ad hominems are shit, you don't know how to properly debate. Fuck off

>give one citation
>other poster points out said citation doesn't even support your claim
>oops! fix own fuck up and gives some other citations
>calls the other guy retarded
Yeah no it was you who was retarded.

You must have some fucktarded security settings on your browser.

kys

Do you know what scraping is?

kek

Do you know you can ban and block scrapers just like you can ban people from using your API you mongoloid?

>the botnet browser doesn't want people to use a more privacy respecting search engine
What else is new? It's your own fault for being a google cuck

Yeah,

I'm fine with my DuckDuckGo.

Thanks anyway.

>same amount of botnet with shittier results
Just stick with google.

You are literally using a honeypot.

Privacy usually goes in hand with less security. Google Chrome is probably the most security browser but one of the least private.

when i right click on text to search it with searx it gives me the blank page. what gives?

Fuck off

>Privacy usually goes in hand with less security
retard detected

Sounds similar to sex so, I can't get it.

Oh good, they finally fixed it.

I wonder how much information was leaked in your botnet search engine.

Yeah go shitpost somewhere else now. May I recommend ?

My post is a warning for people who care about privacy and decided to trust searx.me

Knowing that you have no privacy is better than having the illusion of privacy.

Now fuck off if you have nothing worthwhile to post.
