Exactly that! Every day I thank the people who do their best to stay up to the changes YouTube makes to break NewPipe and other clients and hope YouTube doesn’t go further to use DRM or something worse… I still hope for a way to monetize PeerTube so other creators would switch, Odysee seems to be getting traction but I am not informed enough to know if it’s a better alternative to YouTube, I hope it is.

I was a bit unclear, but I meant that they get enough money not to care about us who use clients such as NewPipe so they don’t block us completely due to lack of income, never underestimate Google’s power.

Personally I will just watch some videos on YouTube from time to time to let the service and the creators stay afloat, most of the time I just use NewPipe. I will use ads time to get something to eat before the video starts.

Sad 😕 They are already 2-3 years old I think I’ll start using them more then, thank you for your comment very useful!

Nice!

If I can change the batteries, that would be a major winner for me!

Can’t agree more, I’m very cautious with mine because of this, I use it only on special occasions to save battery life.

We can’t know for sure but the owner checked that the site was unreachable from Bing. Good news is that it is now accessible again!

Wouldn’t have expected a manga about Ubuntu, but I love this!

My source was this paragraph, I don’t know if they are all from DDG, but I tried and some are the same:

!! external bangs

SearXNG supports the external bangs from ddg. To directly jump to a external search page use the !! prefix. To give an example:

search wikipedia by a custom language

  !!wfr Wau Holland

Please note, your search will be performed directly in the external search engine, SearXNG cannot protect your privacy on this.

We would like to know, but it seems a algorithmic decision… I’ll update you if it is resolved. Meanwhile we would like to get this news so that Bing or DuckDuckGo notices it… If someone has Reddit (I’m shadowbanned) could please post it there too (maybe on DuckDuckGo’s subreddit)?

Great, Thanks! Will try it then 😁 It even supports DDG’s ones!

True… It already had some issues, but since the pro-Russia news de-ranking it’s starting to implement more and more manipulation to the results, it’s starting to go in Google’s direction in terms of bubbling, the thing (I think) they were against… I don’t know if it’s just Bing’s fault, but I hope they distance themselves as soon as possible by using their own crawler or more crawlers (which they claim they do, but it’s hard to believe at this point).

Definitely is… The only thing that keeps me going back to DDG is bangs, would love to see this implemented in Searx instances 🙄
