I'm surprised that someone that would use Anna's Archive, would use Google as their search engine.
- weirdo_from_space @sh.itjust.works 6d ago
  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 it on a stable website, or does it change sometimes? And what's the address?
- Paradachshund @lemmy.today 6d ago
  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.

  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.

  I used to find books and papers by googling the title and clicking on results. It's not that crazy.

  I usually use ddg but sometimes it can't find things in non-English languages whereas google has the results I'm looking for.
infinitesunrise @slrpnk.net 6d ago
Well that's a funny coincidence, I've removed Google URLs and services from all my devices and browsers.

  Waiting to see who grapheneOS is working with next year and what models, then completely and finally degoogling my life.

  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.

  isn’t yandex Russian owned?

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
- tyranical_typhon @lemmings.world 4d ago
  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 removed-made, punk-ass behavior.

  Strong community is how we deal with this, not by relying on corporations' tools. People should be guided to communities first, so they can also get information how to stay safe themselves.

Who tf uses google anymore anyway? (I know, I know, a sea of normies)
Comrade_Spood @quokk.au 5d ago
Good thing I use Startpage
- tyranical_typhon @lemmings.world 4d ago
  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.
