Me: Please don't use Chromium-based browsers, use Firefox instead. Google has way too much control over the web because of Chromium and they'll be sure to leverage that in order to benefit themselves.
Chromium: Hey all, we're getting rid of ad-blockers because it's cutting into our record-breaking revenue! I mean, uh, we're deprecating Manifest V2 for, uh, security. Yeah.
Me: See? Please use Firefox. 
Mozilla: Hey friends, AI is really cool! *steps on rake* Hey friends, we're making an ads business! *steps on rake* Hey friends, we have a ToS with either the most nefarious or the most incompetent language ever! *steps on rake* Also AI is cool!!!

Google is so powerful that it "hides" other search systems from us. We just don't know the existence of most of them.
Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information.
Keep a list of these sites for reference:

Eigentlich sollten alle 195 Staaten, die dem Pariser #Klimaabkommen beigetreten sind, in dieser Woche ihre neuen #Klimapläne („Nationale Klimabeiträge“) vorlegen. Darin müssen die Maßnahmen festgehalten werden, wie die Länder bis 2035 ihre Emissionen senken wollen. Und die Maßnahmen sollten ehrgeiziger ausfallen als im jeweils vorherigen Plan. Abgegeben haben aber bislang nur dreizehn Staaten – unter anderem die USA, noch unter Joe Biden. #klimawandel

It just came out that Meta downloaded via Torrent over 80 terabytes of books taken from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-Library to train their AI models, and nobody is guilty. In contrast, in 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded just 70 GB of academic articles from JSTOR (only 0.0854% of what Meta took) and faced $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison. Unable to bear the situation, he took his own life in 2013.

That was the result from a webshop. The search was
(Why do have) "Climbing holds with slippery volume".
The last experience like that was, when searching this with #ecosia
"the smooth structure on the outside requires exactly the movements that were planned by the route setter. "
All I got was webshops 
@ScottStarkey @GottaLaff Thanks for the hint, trying Patchwork with #scuttlebutt decentralized web . Sounds intriguing

It's probably worth mentioning, I just reminded myself of this website to #unGoogle myself.
@MissConstrue looks like an #adbuster stunt.
Funny and frightenin at the same time.
And frightening because we can not say it is a real cyberpunk dystrophy or just real.
- There was a time, when you could search the #internet through a search engine for some rare topic. And you probably found some #blog or #forum posting where another gal wrote down the same thoughts.
Since #social media took over the blogging scene and it is a lot of walled gardens where you can rarely get a look into them with search engines.
But in "webshops". Which is also not as fulfilling.

@atomicpoet which instances seem to have the most sock puppet accounts?

It’s interesting to watch alt-right folks try to hijack the #Fediverse like they did with #Reddit. They follow the same strategy:
Pose as a progressive with an interest in certain pet causes (e.g., veganism, atheism, etc.)
Declare free speech as an absolute right
Push the idea that all viewpoints have equivalence
This strategy, though, only works if they have power over communities and there’s no escape hatch.
Which is why building redundant communities on multiple servers (and software) is so important.
For example, there should be no default video game community.
