    I primarily use DDG, but the vast majority of people I talk to (including other tech savvy people) use Google. I feel like “search” is too generic (search where?), but “search the internet” is weird. And saying “Bing it” or “Duck it” or whatever just sounds overly contrarian. But if I say “Google it”, people know exactly what I mean.

    So yes, I will “Google where to buy some bandaids” by searching DDG for adhesive bandages.







  • Question: what do people have against chromium? I understand not liking Chrome specifically, but what’s the issue with non-Google chromium? I use Brave on my PC and phone, and Edge for work.

    As for Firefox, I love and appreciate what they are doing and what they stand for. I tried using it and had one bad experience, where I was doing some web dev and encountered a bug that drove me crazy trying to fix, only to find it was a bug with FF itself. So I switched to Brave for development, and then I liked it and haven’t switched back. So, not to say that one little bug “ruined” FF for me, I just haven’t had any reason to stop using Brave.
