   Google chrome, firefox, edge, ie, opera, are now tracking you.

   ddg is my favorite search engine and it has great restutes. It has a built in video player too! The only problem is that i have to use google in a blue moon to get the results it need. Duckside! Brave! Lunix!

• Microsoft killed my favorite keyboard

  That one is good, but I detest keyboards with their own magic little dongle since it's a damn fine thing to misplace I'm surprised OP didn't enjoy https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-ergonomic-keyboard/90pnc9ljwpx9?activetab=pivot:overviewtab which is currently listed as out of stock but I dunno if that means "permanently" or what, but they seem to be available via 3rd party channels Its "klacking" aside,... - Source: Hacker News / about 6 hours ago

• Ask HN: Where are all the touch-based art forms?

  Sculpture can be tactile. I know it's not purely tactile, but thinking of it in that way is becoming a lot more common (eg at the Louvre). And then I went to find a URL for the tactile dome at the Exploratorium in San Francisco (https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/tactile-dome) and it turns out there are lots of tactile galleries now: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=tactile+gallery&t=fpas&ia=web. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Ask HN: How to stay up to date with advances in Alzheimer's research?

  It seems the Mediterranean diet may provide some protection... https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=%E2%80%9CMediterranean+diet%E2%80%9D+Alzheimer%27s&ia=web. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• Ubuntu 24.04 Beta Delayed Due to XZ Nightmare

  Https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pushed+forward+vs+pushed+back&t=fpas&ia=web No, people commonly say "pushed back" for moving to a later date. I agree it's a bit like "press" and "depress". - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• Google News Is Boosting Garbage AI-Generated Articles

  Seriously, I'm surprised at how many devs haven't seen DuckDuckGo's bangs: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs I use them all the time for work. !mdn for MDN, !dnab for .NET, !npm for NPM, !py3 for Python3 docs, !debman for Debian Manpages, !w for Wikipedia, !a for Amazon, !g for Google when you really need it. I'm not affiliated with DDG; I just really, really love it. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Google breaks search for Firefox users because of bad UA string sniffing

  I think everyone in the thread knows about "search engines" in Chrome and bookmark keywords in Firefox. The crux of the issue is that there are more than 10,000 bang commands in DDG. Setting up even a popular subset in any given browser is a significant investment. It's fine if it's the browser you use 99% of the time, but for those spanning multiple computers, phones, and other devices, simply using bang... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Kagi – Sourcing from Brave Search, improved image search, and new Safari ext

  Where is the place to add personal bangs to DuckDuckGo? I can't find it in https://duckduckgo.com/bangs or https://duckduckgo.com/settings. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Wine 9.0 RC1 – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS

  Kagi uses the same bangs as duckduckgo (and more), so there should already be 4 different bangs for it https://duckduckgo.com/bangs?q=protondb. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Are there valid Google Search alternatives?

  +Bangs!! https://duckduckgo.com/bangs eg type "jazz music!yt" and it will do a youtube search, !s for startpage, !g for google etc. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
