I think as the community grows, more search engines will start including us!

Fuck Brave and fucks its owner Brendan Eich.
Don’t promote that despicable company in any way.
Why what’s up with them? Asking cuz I don’t know.
Read the links of the comment you are replying to.
While I agree, but i tried Brave Search for a few weeks, and it seemed pretty good.
I wouldnt use Brave Browser, because Vivaldi is there (if you need Chromium.) But for a search engine which is free? DuckDuckGo maybe?
P.S. Kagi search is pretty good if you are willing to pay.
A lot of people are complaining about Kagi using Brave as a backend but the alternatives aren’t much better. Both Google and Microsoft are BDS for example.
DDG is so bad in results though it makes not using a search engine seem like a solid alternative. I remember that research from a few months ago where they compared Google, Bing and DDG to do statistical analysis of if and how much Google’s search results have been getting worse in recent years.
Result:
- Google did get worse.
- However, Bing and DDG got worser, faster.
The real conclusion was that SEO spam has found ways to optimize that is no longer easy to exclude for search providers. Hence all search is getting shit pretty quickly.
nuh uh
Wait so the same guy owns brave is now firefoxes CEO?
I can’t wait until we can start appending “lemmy” to our search strings in order to find useful results.
Is there a “user reviews” community?
This is exactly what comes to mind when some fedi people want to block all the search engines.
Good answers from real people are what drove everyone to start appending “Reddit” to the end of searches. The rest of the results are SEO trash.
I’d like to see a lot of that traffic move to lemmy and other fedi stuff and I think letting indexers do their thing is positive.
I’m seeing Lemmy posts on Google results as well.
I see Lemmy on Google too. It surprised me at first but I like that it get indexed.
Kagi has a “Fediverse forums” lens now as well.
.eus.
why not use vivaldi if you have to use a chromium-based browser
Why Vivaldi?
Because it’s fucking awesome. Here’s why I used* to use it:
- Built in email client
- Built in RSS reader.
- Themes and customisable UI (vertical tabs, bottom tags, tab previews, tab stacking)
- Built in ad blocker
- Sidebar with Mastodon, RSS, mail, translate, etc
*I use Floorp now cos I wanna support Mozilla/Firefox by upping the browser share numbers but Vivaldi is the best Chromium-based browser by far.
And people bash brave for being bloated.
Horses for courses.
It’s firefox (well, librewolf) + vivaldi is closed-source.
Fuck you spez!
yeah of all the names to choose…

Well that part is essentially just chromium so that’s why ‘vivaldi’ (as in what makes slightly different being its ui) is essentially closed source. But yeah that distinction is there.
Here’s the link for anyone who wants a quick check - https://search.brave.com/search?q=mastodon+android+clients
it would probablyhelop if the search prompt is not written by a dyslexic… shakes head
Irony that you could drape over yourself and go to sleep with
My excuse being the lemmy android app message editor being bugged, getting out of sync when deleting characters.
dude you write verbs like ‘shakes head’ in your comments.
that’s not a verb, that’s an emote. Considering you chose the dumbest possible username for lemmy, I am not surprised you wouldn’t understand that.
Also: There’s a substantial difference to you searching for “anroid” clients and making a post based on those search results.
Sorry, unlike you, I have a life. Can’t argue over this stupid shit.
