Have read this comment before multiple times, even a year or two ago. Hence my “unreasonable” demand for screenshots if someone has the minutes to script it. - Hmm, really should be a live site to track over time... Can make that and Show [

Are we both blocking Google ads and scrolling past the AI summary? Their business practices are just the worst. But are the first 10 blue links they show you usually bad? (Like you know that one of those 10 should be the exact thing you wan

What (What do you search) they stink vs. Google even though Startpage is proxying them. DDG is _not_ a “good” search engine — please, anybody have a hundred side-by-side screenshots to compare identical searches? Edit - also admit Kagi’s gr

I like it. Your last bit is good marketing against those who think paying a linesitter / spot holder is all upside. Also economics of paying linesitters make it relatively much less attractive than all-digital scalping. So I think you

Apple’s prioritization of Apple Music on their HomePod turns me off it a bit. Could help guide users more to alternatives but would reduce services sales. Meh, I’m being kinda unfair b/c the experience is gonna be better. Shame Spotify

Glad I made a true(r) random playlist before they shut their API, which I figure killed those tools Expand to all Google Play Music features pls Spotify (play counts & the impossible upload-your-own-music to Spotify’s cloud)

Agreed. Vanishingly few enforcers have ever said "wait, we let other people do it? Ohhhh go ahead!" Much more extreme example, I read a court case where the cops were really annoyed the perp told them they should've been enfo
