    …people use Bing?

    *checks browser marketshare…

    Ha, Bing doesn’t even have 5% marketshare.

    Oh no, Firefox has less than half of Bing’s marketshare. Fuck me, what’s wrong with internet users. I know Firefox isn’t perfect, but there’s other forks of it for various use-cases.

      I can’t even convince my spouse to switch to firefox to get adblocking back. Browsers are entirely transparent to most users :\

        Just install it and change the icon.

        Wait, what browser are they using that doesn’t support plugins? IE11?

          It’s not about no plugin support… It’s about Chroma and Manifest V3 crippling adblocking plugin capabilities.

      This also applies to the results on Duckduckgo so I assume this affects a lot of people here.

        “Normies” don’t use PCs anymore. Whatever apps the phone vendor preinstalled, Web or other, is the internet.

        Over 1.5 million Neocities websites; Geocities, however, is dead.

    Bing/DDG has also blocked the emulation wiki (https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/) for some reason. I noticed when I forgot the domain and tried looking for the site.

    For the record, Google returns it as the top result.

    Before you say haha no one is using bing… Your beloved DuckDuckGo uses bing results and this means it’s censored there too. And it’s not only about the start page https://neocities.org/ (which can be found with DuckDuckGo via Wikipedia Snippet). None of the hosted sites are in the index.

      Well is that true? I searched duckduckgo and kagi something and neocities and both gave results. Bing did not.

      Edit: Seems like I got lucky with search terms. Often it returns nothing the more terms I try. The AI tool in ddg always returns sites so thats weird.

      Well whateever, I switched to Kagi anyways.

          Kagi is $10 a month for the decent (not weirdly limited) plan. That’s a hell of an expensive coffee.
