When I find a website I find interesting, I usually use the firefox addon feedbro to find an rss feed in the site. I create folders based on domains or website type to help categorize things. It has worked for a lot more websites than I expected.
My top ones:
DuckDuckGo - may not be as private as they claim, but has been my go-to for years. Simple, but feature-full and still mostly decent for search.
Marginalia - a search engine that favors text heavy websites, perfect for research
Searx instance - not my main due to how spotty the instances can be and lazy to set up mine. But can basically grab stuff from all the “big” search engines, which saves a lot of time. I don’t consider it a godsend like most people do, though. As since big engines can give poor results.
frogfind - a duckduckgo interface meant for older computers that converts webpages to basic html. Perfect for news articles and tutorials where you want to skip the “fluff”.
In that moment, I will use piped. If piped goes down, I will use nebula. Anything over paying youtube.
Kbin.social has a good interface, a few userscripts to customize it as I please, and it was the first one listed on the website that was in english lol.
As much as I hate twitter, I think this is a bad thing. As far as I can tell, the suit is about those uploading music to twitter, which counts as sharing of content and shouldn’t be illegal.
Unless I am missing something, if the lawsuit went through, it would be a terrible thing for everyone.
its probably my favorite feature of lemmy/kbin
they already bought alien blue and ruined it.
This is why I don’t use searxng as my daily driver! I’m too lazy to self host and they’re always down.
