Search Engine - Tumblr Posts
works in India. I added it to my firfox webbrowser on phone. This is how you do it:
Open your firfox and press the three buttons. Go to settings. There, in general you got the search option and within that your default search engine is selected, Google, Bing Yahoo whatever.
Within that, what you do now is, add the new search engine udm14. While adding a new search engine it gonna ask you a name for the search engine (udm14) + what is the search engine website url when you do search something. Add the following to the url part: (https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14) and you're all set!
Select udm14 now as your default browser and you're good to go!
Google de-shitification
Do you use Google? Do you want to search without the always-wrong AI inserting itself and fucking over your search results?
https://udm14.com/
This is an easy way to add &udm=14 to your Google query, which will remove the AI and also put it very much like it would have been back when it actually did not suck.
Note that it just submits to Google with &udm=14 at the end of the URL. If you know how to edit URL's, you can just add it yourself and it should have the same effect.
Doesn't work in all regions, for all users, etc. but it worked for me.

You can also use tor/onion browser but like. Be careful because you can also access the dark web with tor and dark web users can access you if you don't have the proper protection on dark web sites.
Do ya'll remember when you could go to that "advanced search" page on google? The page that looked like a library's search engine?
Did you know it still exists??? Cus I sure didn't! It's like it's its (its it's its for good measure) own webpage now, but she lives! You just have to search "google advanced search" and its the first result
Completely worthless info to me personally since I use duckduckgo or ecosia which you should too btw, but hey! Maybe that knowledge will help someone out there since AI SEO blah blah has razed the internet to the ground
i was looking up kuroo from haikyuu because i can never be sure i have remembered any of the characters in that thing correctly but instead of typing haikyuu kuroo i just automatically typed hetalia kuroo (i often forget things about hetalia as well) and not only is it embarrassing how confused i was for a good sixty seconds until i figured out my mistake but now every time i try to look up something about hetalia for actual real, my search engine auto suggests hetalia kuroo from my search history so i think i am not allowed to let this go and forget about it apparently
NOOOOOOOO DON'T TURN ME INTO AN OVERSIMPLIFIED LOGO NOOOOOOOOOO

List of alternate search engines
though check reblogs and replies to see if any of the ones mentioned have issues or if other search engines have been mentioned.
If you are sick of Google giving you blatantly wrong or even dangerous AI answers to your search query, here are some search engines that don’t use AI at all:
Startpage (highly recommend this one)
Ask
Dogpile
Metacrawler
Frogfind
Qwant
Ecosia
SearXNG
I was about to put Yahoo on this list since their search doesn’t use AI, but it turns out their email service has AI integrated into it :(
DuckDuckGo uses AI by default. Even though you can just toggle it off, I still lost trust in DuckDuckGo
Definitely DO NOT USE BRAVE. Not only does it have built into AI integration, but also has cringe ass crypto and NFT crap built in because the company is ran by cryptobros. The founder of Brave is also a transphobe
