use and promote Firefox

Only as fallback for when a website is built on the latest hype and shiny baubles instead of actual web standards, and doesn't work with Pale Moon (even with user agent set to Mozilla).

Otherwise, Pale Moon has been working on just about all websites I encounter for many years with the original uBlock and eMatrix extensions. And that with less resources.

Comment Needs a better results page (Score 1) 38

Things that bother me at the results page are:
  - font size of text too large
  - left drawer sidebar wasting space
  - right "other searches" sidebar wasting space
  - not aware of browser window size, thus not fitting inside
  - sticky search bar
  - "to go further" section repeatign when displaying more results
  - dynamic search suggestions from search bar
  - add an "all languages" option to filter out unwanted local language results

They could learn a thing or two from Duckduckgo on customising the page or labeling CSS sections as to enable hiding through uBlock for a more simplified search page.
The way it is now, I don't feel compelled to use it when it returns only a handful of results each time compared to maybe slightly worse but more in DDG.

I only worked with it for a while on Windows 7 and server 2008-2012.
I did not like it at all, it making things more complex compared to using the command prompt. The need to load the set of commands for some program, then the trouble of querying for the available command options.
Simply querying against an executable made work easier.

I don't know if things changed nowadays, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with Microsoft any longer apart from my old Windows 7 game laptop.

What will DuckDuckGo do via duck.ai? Would they be able to filter advertising out of the LLM replies or leave it as is?

I only used the OpenAI free one a couple of questions out of curiosity, but for the few times I'd convert some C++ to C code the Mistral LLM has served well enough.
