So basically google is the MLS listings of the web now. Sounds like a job for regulators to step in for both the problems.
Agree we need a coop of search engines, but I'll add that probably an org like mozilla is best suited for it, that way it can stay non-profit and recycle any profits back into R&D. personally I believe most of these solid business plan companies can be replaced by a simpler open-source version as IMO a lot of their energy is spend in securing revenue lines & profits.
- eternityforest 5y agoI suspect Mozilla would penalize sites that track you, which is most sites, which would cause people to not use it and go back to Google when it wasn't showing them what they expected. Mozilla is probably in the best position to do it, I'm just not sure they actually would do it in a way that appealed to consumers.
