    isnt this kind of good thing? The original website is the best for searching stuff from there and by doing this, it takes off some heat from the website

      It’s a bad thing because people are less likely to come across it at all.

      We should stop being afraid to fight because we think our oppressors will fight back.

      That’s bitch-made, punk-ass behavior.

      Pretty sure startpage shows the same results as google.

      Mojeek is a search engine that prides itself on lack of censorship, but it can be hard to find things there as well.

    I’m surprised that someone that would use Anna’s Archive, would use Google as their search engine.

      Or use a search engine to access it in general. Anna’s Archive itself is a search engine, it’s better to just bookmark it and search for stuff directly from there.

          Is stable for me for a long time already. Maybe you need to switch DNS, as some ISPs have a DNS block. But one should switch DNS regardless.

      I’ve seen a lot of very tech savvy people still using google and chrome to this day. It’s the top search engine. The majority of people use it, including pirates.

        Sometimes I’m just lazy. Don’t use chrome but google as a search engine since it’s the default and sometimes I can’t be bothered to change it.

      I usually use ddg but sometimes it can’t find things in non-English languages whereas google has the results I’m looking for.

      They probably don’t, tbh. Question is if this will even affect the traffic in any way.

      If I want to find a pdf, whether it be a book, comic or research paper, I use Yandex - Google has been unusable in that way for a long time now.

        You don’t have to wait, start it now! LineageOS with MicroG is a fine Android OS without Google. It’s supported on many devices.

          Yes, and while it may give you results that you won’t find in Western search engines, it’s still controlled by the state in what it puts out.

          Yes, that’s why they don’t care about copyrighted content outside of Russia.
