One good feature #Marginalia has is that it tells you before hand about "anti features" of a website.

Like in the attached screenshot, this website has got Tracking, Javascript and Ads.

It also has features to remove results which have got ads or Javascript. These features come very handy in the "modern" world wide web.

I really appreciate the developer's efforts. I hope #FOSS #SearchEngines could one day excel. And I hope support for languages other than English will be added soon enough.

Here's the thing: https://marginalia-search.com/

So I was trying Kagi because DuckDuckGo is becoming worse and worse.

In DDG the top list of website are questionable sources or irrelevant information. If I look at the news section, it constantly gives me far-rights and Israeli-propaganda outlets for basically any query. And it keeps turning on the AI feature despite me deactivating it every time.

So I'm trying Kagi. The free trial account gives me 100 search. But I notice that search isn't counted as one query

A long-overdue update on the #Mwmbl #OpenSource #SearchEngine https://blog.mwmbl.org/articles/update-july-2025/

@mike is maapl.net dead? I liked #MAAPL as my default #SearchEngine

Hey @mike, any updates on why maapl.net has been unreachable all day? Is there a status page I can follow to find out about outages like this one? #MAAPL #SearchEngine #outage

»DuckDuckGo now lets you hide AI-generated images in search results:
Privacy-focused browser DuckDuckGo is rolling out a new setting that lets users filter out AI images in search results. The company says it’s launching the feature in response to feedback from users who said AI images can get in the way of finding what they’re looking for.«

I don't prefer this as my main search engine but if this could not trigger ain anti-AI hype?

Pretty problematic. #DuckDuckGo #searchengine results in

EOF
google.com search

on my Firefox. With #Tor #Browser ist works, so can not be a general #problem. Somebody know how to make this work again?

I miss AltaVista and HotBot , the search engines from the late 90's. Is it still possible to search the internet without triggering some AI that pushes its generated answer above all other results?

Australia is Rolling Out Age Verification… for Search Engines

Widespread mass government censorship continues to be out of control and Australia is now targeting search engines.

Which search engine doesn't have "AI" these days?
Duck-duck-go now has it
Ecosia now has it
I imagine google etc. all have it

What else is there?

PS: yes, I already know you can opt-out of the AI summary - at least in DDG - but that's only until I restart my browser because I don't keep cookies. So I am looking for a search engine that does not have AI at all or, worst case scenario, where the AI is opt-in.

Seit gut einer Woche nutze ich Kagi (https://kagi.com) als Suchmaschine.

Was soll ich sagen?

Die gewünschte Antwort findet sich in gefühlt 95% innerhalb der ersten 5 Suchergebnisse.

Wer will hat auch Zugriff auf viele AI-Standard-Modelle, ohne überall einen Account zu brauchen. Mit Aufpreis gibt's auch die "volle Ladung AI".

Ich kann es nur empfehlen! Probiert es aus: https://kagi.com

Jonathan Bailey writes about switching to Kagi and the importance of being a customer rather than a product in the context of search engines and their impact on independent publishers:
