The only thing stopping me moving to Brave is the awful bookmark sync implementation… when I used it for a small period in the past it was keeping some I’d long deleted on other devices etc

I also would prefer it to implement bookmark separators (like both Vivaldi and FF do) but I can live without those if they sorted out the sync.

It cannot - more and more content is coming from AI so they are just “relearning” what one of the AI platforms has already produced… the endgame of that is convergence on nothing new being produced from AI

I bought my iMac in March 2020… since then it’s been powered down maybe half a dozen times (a couple of those were power cuts) and rebooted (outside of macOS updates) maybe ten times.

It just sits there reliably doing its thing and sucks little juice in power saving so 🤷🏻‍♂️

They still a thing? Not sure they’re that common in the UK at least 🤷🏻‍♂️

When it came down to it I realised I use search many many many mores times a day than I do Netflix so it became a no brainer for me to use Kagi… it’s funny my wife (who laughs at me for paying for search) was looking for a particular recipe yesterday and she was bouncing around Google unable to find exactly what she wanted… I put it into Kagi and it was literally the first item returned. She still laughs at me 🤷🏻‍♂️

What I will say is Kagi is pretty useless for local searching though, eg looking for a local business, Google is still much better at that but you can Google through Kagi to help protect privacy.

Clunge

Another vote for Kagi here as well… except for searching for local businesses near where I live, I revert to Google for that, but I Google through Kagi so privacy is somewhat protected

But then you potentially lose fringe interest videos which the creator makes for fun, only expects a thousand views from people with similar fringe interests and isn’t interested in being paid

Aren’t we already doing that though with Mastodon, Lemmy etc?

I’ve been using Kagi for a while and would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone BUT with the caveat if you want to search for a local business or similar, at least here in the UK, then it’s pretty rubbish… I find Google still reigns at that.

Any good guides out there please on getting started with these…?

UK - for me, Five Guys

Cyberpunk 2020 TTRPG had a shit ton of source books for outside of Night City and outside America, including space and even one for the very beginnings of deep space exploration in the cyberpunk world… the source material has a lot of legs outside of Night City.

I suppose the argument would be, yes that’s fine as long as you only use it in India…? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Again, not saying I agree but it’s hard to make a comparison like that I think.

Not approving of any corporate behaviours here, but extracting the maximum price a market will bear has been the basis of pricing and supply/demand since such concepts existed which is at least 250 years.

I didn’t think Verge was…?

They do both, their own index focuses on the “small web”, more info here:

It is in the UK it’s prescription only other than a very low dose, in which case it’s pharmacy only following consultation with the pharmacist… these are controlled drugs under UK law

This is the route I took, works very well
