  I looked into this a while back and came to the conclusion that the dev didn’t seem trustworthy. Also, just looking on the homepage, the image it showed me was a dildo with “4get” stuck on it using a sticky note and a modified manga panel about beating women. Not sure I’d want to use something like that in public.

    Honestly that type of anti-corporate imagery makes me trust them more

    yeah, the dev seems kinda like a shitposter ngl (although there is some funny pictures in the front page) Image

    However, I configured it as my default search engine, so I never go to the front page

      Why not just use searxng or startpage?

        Well, 4get use a scraper, so I can use searxng, startpage or any other indexer with it (including DuckDuckGo, google, yandex etc). And another thing is the fact that almost every instance has support for Tor hidden services (which I use). But in the the end is more of matter of preference, I’m more of a fan of the less modern frontend

    Not sure what I expected. For the equally curious with no foresight:

    definitely a dildo with 4get stuck on it using sticky note

      Uh… The spoiler didn’t work for me. Good thing I’m not in public 😂 Also - WTF? Why??

        :( sorry to hear that. Out of curiosity, what app/UI are you using?
