The Fediverse is unique. My survey asked what your favorite search engine is. 51% said DuckDuckGo, 12% Startpage, 9% Ecosia and 4% Qwant. Only 6% said Google and 1% Bing. 17% said they preferred another search engine, with many mentioning Kagi and Mojeek. This is quite different from what the market share out there is, which shows how unique you all are here in the Fediverse. You make your own choices and do not follow everyone else. Be proud. #fediverse #Windows #Macos #Linux #Android #iOS #Computer #mobile #search #BigTech #Vivaldi @npub19rt0...adh9 #Mastodon #Google #Microsoft #DuckDuckGo #StartPage #Ecosia #Bing #Qwant

A core part of every Crypto scam is the story. Quite often it is an elaborate one. It all started with the Bitcoin story, but others, such as DOGE, have their own stories. Quite often people will defend these stories as being true. All the other Crypto currencies and NFTs are a scam, but not this one. Some will just point at high valuations as indicators that it is not a scam, but rather it is just indicators of rather successful scams. Whatever the story is, the results are the same. The damage done is not small. The idea that Crypto now uses more energy than many countries, when we should be conserving energy, is crazy. We all have a choice when it comes to Crypto. I decided years ago not to get involved. If I had gotten involved, I would have made a bundle, but I would have been part of the problem and I did not want to do that. Lets stay away from any products and services that include Crypto. Lets not support this "industry" in any way. #Vivaldi #browser #Crypto #Bitcoin #DOGE

iOS 18.2 is out! As part of the release, you should be seeing a choice screen in Europe. I hope you will be making Vivaldi your default browser from now on, if it is not already! The way Apple have implemented this, you will only see the choice screen when starting Safari and only when Safari is the default. I hope the rest of the world will be given the same choice soon.

In @npub19rt0...adh9, we provide a set of search engine choices. It differs a bit from country to country, but generally we have a nice set of search engines to choose from. I would advice that you select one of the smaller search engines. They are generally better when it comes to privacy and you are supporting an alternative to Big Tech, although most of them get their search feeds from either Google or Microsoft at this time. That also means that switching from Google or Bing will allow you to get similar search results, while stepping away from Big Tech, so the switching cost should be lower. So what is your favorite search engine? #Windows #Macos #Linux #Android #iOS #Computer #mobile #search #BigTech #Vivaldi @npub19rt0...adh9
