Luckily, as of today I can still set my user agent to something like a Playstation or ancient firefox/IE to get a lightweight HTML-based page. The results are in www.google.com/url?q= format but I can use a redirector extension for that.
Better abandon google search for something else at this point. Even if alternative search engine calls bing and google, at least they take this BS out of the way
Why it is important to use alternative metadata fetcher like searxng
Motherf***ers
Soon they’re gonna start using Widevine DRM to encrypt the Javascript required to access the search results. 🤦🏻♂️
Startpage.com does not
This coincides with Google search getting worse and now including the AI slop.
What’s the best alternative to Google these days?
Typo in your link (but not in the text). https://searx.space/
What’s the best alternative to Google these days?
I think that’s like asking what’s the best alternative to bread.
The bread has mold and there’s weird stuff growing all over it.
Not really. I haven’t used Google Search in close to a decade.
SearXNG solves this (and many other problems)
I wish they would fix the bug where I can’t click “images” with js disabled
That no bug. There just no html search for image.
You just described a bug
No. Missing feature is not bug.
You not write bugreport, you write feature request.
Image search already exists. Its just missing for some users. That’s a bug, not a new feature request
i would guess that people that deactivate js are fine not using google for search
This breaks things like Whoogle that used the JavaScript-less api to pull search results.
Any idea if it will break SearXNG?
