• Facebook Extension for Blocking Suggested Feeds and Ad Blocking

  Social Fixer, I have used it for years. Until I started using the FB mobile app I didn't know what it was like to see a feed full of ads. I saw a few but they were rare. When FB makes changes he continues to work on the extension until it adjusts to the new things FB has thrown at us. https://socialfixer.com/. Source: 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Would you use a service that unfollow everyone on your social media?

  Once having used an extension named "Unfollow everyone on facebook at once" proved to be a very effective way to cut down the amount of pointless stuff on FB. Apparently, the extension was too effective and successful to stay unpunished: https://techstory.in/facebook-quashed-chrome-extension-that-lets-you-bulk-unfollow-everyone/ I stumbled over it back then due to the unavoidable Streisand effect and happily so.... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Just a reminder that WhatsApp is also owned by Facebook

  Meaning, you can go to public instances like searx.me,. Here's the documentation on how to start it up. But , you dont have to trust Searx that they are good people nor do you have to trust their data habits like DDG. Source: about 2 years ago

• Instead of lashing out at duckduckgo for doing what they think is best, ask the deeper question of why we’re all still using centralized services and being disappointed when they behave in a predictably centralized way.

  Consider a future where something like https://searx.me/ is as ubiquitous as Tor. Source: over 2 years ago

• DDG, once a hero has now fallen.

  For those looking for a replacement for Duckduckgo; I would highly recommend using Searx. It's an open source privacy respecting search engine with many decentralized private instances you can swap between. The link I sent is the primary instance, but here is a link with dozens more, and my own private instance. Source: over 2 years ago

• DuckDuckGo is out. I guess I'll try Brave Search.

  The most based solution: Https://searx.me. Source: over 2 years ago

• Uh oh.. What will the vaccinated think of this news?

  Searx.me and Startpage.com are the best search engines right now that are anti-censorship and anti-bias. Source: over 2 years ago
