I believe people will at least start looking for alternatives. For example, I have been collecting search engines, and whenever I encounter a page with too many commercial-laden SEO-porked results, I use a different search engine in Firefox.
I have enabled the Search Bar, I can do Alt+D, Tab, Tab, enter my query, then click a different search engine, which searches instantly, unlike the main bar, where you have to press Enter once more after clicking.
I just added this one also. See my collection: https://0bin.net/paste/ZSCRYVx1#sxD+jBIpScJismXBYwaoJPh75TH97UUJ6h5+AWSeXxS https://0bin.net/paste/ZSCRYVx1#sxD+jBIpScJismXBYwaoJPh75TH9...

- danuker 5y agoFirefox uses a custom format for compressing the SEARCH ENGINES. I am appalled. I had to do a `pip install lz4` then apply and run this change: https://gist.github.com/Tblue/62ff47bef7f894e92ed5?permalink_comment_id=2315586#gistcomment-2315586 https://gist.github.com/Tblue/62ff47bef7f894e92ed5?permalink... And it did not work. I hit a brick wall. I completely lost trust in Firefox. I want a browser created by a non-profit. Thank you Google for corrupting everything you touch.

- Seirdy 5y agoSome of these (Andi, nee Lazyweb; You; SwissCows) are Bing proxies. Gnod is a search launcher, not an engine unto itself. Many more installable engines are available at https://mycroftproject.com https://mycroftproject.com as OpenSearch XML plugins, compatible with Firefox and discoverable by Chromium.
- danuker 5y agoThanks! I will remove duplicates.
- blewboarwastake 5y agoPro tip: Alt+E takes you directly to the search bar, then you can press Tab for selecting the search engine. The best part is that you never use the mouse this way. You can also use ddg bangs, they contain every search-engine/site by pressing Alt-D if you remember the bang for the site.
