Ich benutze weiterhin @MetaGer (was ich mit meinen Mitgliedsgebühren für den SuMa-eV bezahle). Bald wird #Metager auch den #OpenWebIndex nutzen und damit die neue Suchmaschine #Nolm starten.
Update: Inzwischen kann man @nolm folgen. @phoefer schrieb heute, dass NoLM im zweiten Quartal online gehen könnte.
👀 Is there a usable and private #SearchEngine which has some kind of filter or at least some feature to tackle #AI crap content flooding the net? Can be a paid service.
I am SO SICK of all search results with at least the half of the sites being #SEO caused AI shit sites only existing to generate income by featuring ads. 😮💨
I know about #MetaGer and #Kagi but both don't really seem to fit the bill... 🤔
@Horschtel @pikarl @MetaGer
Existiert #MetaGer denn noch als #Suchmaschine ?

The overhead of disabling every single AI-first change in Firefox is already starting to weigh on firefox-forks.
My view on this hasn't really shifted in the last few months: unless an existing organization, with strong principles, steps forwards and commits to a hard fork I don't really see a future for Firefox.
(I think there are probably only 1-2 orgs with the combination of experience / maturity to actually pull that off, and none of them seem to be even considering that kind of future)
@sarahjamielewis not sure whether #firefox forks like in @iode's #iodéOS can also offer "AI disable by default" or remove any #AI code, but it seems a legitimite way to go. Also, it will be an #EU country to handle such modifications. #France #digitalsouvereignity

iodé Browser
iodé browser is based on Firefox with #telemetry disabled, trackers removed, and alternative search engines: #Qwant (default), #Brave, #Ecosia, #Metager, Qwant light, #Startpage and several #Searx instances.

Been looking at Kagi for search which isn't bad but I don't want or need all the LLM stuff they put everywhere.
Is there a comparable (potentially also paid) search engine that does not spend their income building another LLM based browser or whatever?
