Can't help imagining Saitama putting a definite end, without so much back-and-forth, to Mahito's hateful smirk. One punch is all that's needed.

Admittedly it could be a temporary fluctuation of some kind.
I tried Kagi for a while, but it was giving me less useful results than DDG, so I simply left it. I think it depends a lot on what kinds of searches one does, and Kagi is more useful for other users.
I'll give Qwant too a try, cheers! Testing SearXNG for a couple of days first.
Tried Startpage a while ago, but was put off but some alleged iffy dealings of the company behind it. Trying SearXNG now and I'm impressed!
I've been using SearXNG during the last day and I'm quite impressed too so far!
True what you say about the problems behind net search. It's actually a very complex problem. In my opinion part of the problem is that there's a lot (most?) of rubbish out there. It's like a library with useful books of different genres all mixed together, and mixed with an even larger amount of nonsense books. Maybe a solution would be something completely different from indexing โย but I have no idea what.
Thank you for the explanation about rankings, and the SearXNG suggestion. I'm trying it now and it looks promising!
Didn't know about several of these, cheers!
It's very likely to depend on the kinds of searches I do, indeed. Although I think it's the same as in the previous years. Could also be just a subjective impression, so I'll try to keep count of how often the "!g" really leads to better results.
I'm trying SearX today, after so many recommended it. It looks promising! Thank you for pointing out the multiple-engines setup.
One possible drawback: it seems I can't do "verbatim" searches; or at least, quotation marks don't seem to lead to verbatim searches โ I'll try with "+". DDG was adamant with quotation marks, that's something I liked a lot about it.
Thank you for the suggestion. I tried Kagi a couple of times, but it missed the useful results that DDG or Google were giving, so I dropped it.
It depends of course on what kinds of searches one typically needs. Probably there isn't a universally best search engine.
...and thought of randomly posting it here.

In my desktop Firefox I use Cookie Autodelete to keep a whitelist of sites whose cookies won't be deleted. All other cookies are deleted as soon as all tabs for a particular site are closed.
Android's Firefox, from what I gather, only give you two choices: delete all cookies upon quitting (not tab closing), or save them across sessions.
Unfortunately the extension above does not work on Firefox Android, and I haven't found any other alternatives.
Do you know of any alternatives or other solutions, to get a behaviour similar to the desktop one? (And also: how come that extension is not supported on Firefox on Android?)
Cheers!

We identify "life" with the capability of self-replication plus some other features. In other conditions, for instance on other planets, it could be possible for self-replication to happen in a way different from the RNA/DNA-based one.
I remember stumbling, years ago, on research and papers that studied this kind of possibility. But I'm having a hard time finding the old references or new ones.
Do you have interesting papers and research material to share about this? Thank you!

True about the good old-Google feeling! I want to find how much about of the shadiness claims about Startpage have been substantiated or denied.
