   Brave Search is way better than other search engines.

   In contrast to other "private" search engines (except for Presearch and SearX), it doesn't have trackers, or not nearly as many. This information can be verified by installing uBlock Origin and ClearURLs, which detect 0 and 2 trackers respectively, against for example DuckDuckGo's nearly 10 and 19. Other alternatives are SearX (No trackers AT ALL, still kinda user-friendly) and Presearch (A bit easier to use but a tiny bit worse for privacy, it has 1 more tracking element).

   🏁 Competitors: DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, StartPage, Presearch, Searx, Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, Ask.com, Qwant

   👍 Pros:    Good search results|Not too many trackers|Not buggy|Easy to use

   👎 Cons:    Has 2 tracking url elements

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  I was talking about Brave Search (https://search.brave.com), not Brave browser. Seaech doesn't promote crypto. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave rolled their own completely independent search [1] on what I assume is a relatively limited budget. It seems that regularly grabbing the data would be pretty easy. The harder part would be searching/ordering it in an efficient and meaningful way while avoiding SEO, but that seems more like a fun problem than a difficult one (if not both).

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave Search [1] is 100% independent. There's also Yandex [2] which also works excellently, but is biased towards more Russian language results. The image search is second to none though. [1] - https://search.brave.com/ [2] - https://yandex.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Nice to see https://search.brave.com/, https://entireweb.com and https://mojeek.com are still kicking it. In case anyone needs to know alternatives besides the monopoly that is Google. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• What Happened to DuckDuckGo?

  Https://search.brave.com/ using that as my default search engine on firefox since last year. Quite happy with the quality of results. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• How to capture new tickets instantly on Ticketswap?

  One could use one of the many phone automation tools to program a little script that automatically clicks the Ticketswap popup and then goes through the rest of the menus until it's in your shopping cart. Source: 12 months ago

• Auto Reboot config

  In the past, I used https://llamalab.com/automate/ and it was simple to use. Back then, I had to reboot my phone at least once a day for it to work properly and Automate helped a bunch. Source: about 1 year ago

• IPhone 15 might be a worthy successor to S10

  Zero customizability. I like to bind actions to volume buttons, scripts and programs to make my life easier (super-bright flashlight, call recording, automation). On iPhones you can... Change the wallpaper. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there a way to signal to the driver their car has been turned on?

  You're gonna have to get something like a bouncie bouncie.com/device $77 to buy, $8 /mo for LTE, for notification that car has been turned on. I actually don't have a bouncie, since I have a DIY system: To watch live stream of the inside of my car, I mounted on my dash, an old galaxy s4 with Alfred security camera app alfred.camera/ , the video showing the inside of my car. It’s also set to record if detecting a... Source: about 1 year ago

• Alternative like Tasker?

  Automate from Llamalab might do it for you. https://llamalab.com/automate/ I use it quite extensively and it is free on a limited basis. You can run I think three tasks simultaneously in the free version but you can get around that by creating a scheduling flow that starts other flows in a timed manner if you want. The com.termux.tasker add-on that was already linked in this thread can be used to communicate with... Source: about 1 year ago
