  Dick Duck Go gets its search results from Bing.

    IIRC that’s just one of the backends they use for their results

    I just opened neocities.org with it, but nothing specific.

  I can't even convince my spouse to switch to firefox to get adblocking back. Browsers are entirely transparent to most users :\

    If you’re savvy, look at blocking them at the dns level with software like pihole or blocky.

    Just install it and change the icon.

    Wait, what browser are they using that doesn’t support plugins? IE11?

      It’s not about no plugin support… It’s about Chroma and Manifest V3 crippling adblocking plugin capabilities.

        Yeah, if you really wanted to use chrome, you’d have to use something like Brave where they forked and did not move over to Manifest V3.

    You’re probably too young to remember that in an old version of windows, Internet Explorer’s desktop icon was labeled “The Internet”. Nowadays, people think Google is “the internet”. My boomer dad says he “has Gemini”… bruh, you’re just searching shit on Google.

      Well, I’m 44 so I do remember those days, but I used to be a Netscape user, so there’s that.

    “Normies” don’t use PCs anymore. Whatever apps the phone vendor preinstalled, Web or other, is the internet.

  ...people use Geocities?

  • Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Neocities; Geocities is dead.

    • NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Ok, same question. People use neocities?

      source

      • Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        1.5 million websites that, whether obscure or not, deserve to be indexed no less than the many obscure GitHub pages that Microsoft is sure to index.

  This also applies to the results on Duckduckgo so I assume this affects a lot of people here.
