With surveillance capitalism reaching it's peak in 2026/2027, is getting out the Web the only way for the privacy inclined user?

Will Gemini (or cousins) go the way of Linux? Or is it foverer condemned to go the way of Hurd

Since you seem more knowledgeable, don't you think they need a better search indexing? Using their dedicated browsers like Lagrange is just frustrating in that regard.

I do think it would go slightly against the vine they want to achieve, that is to have link aggregators more than search engines. Though I don't think it would be impossible to build a search engine. It would be complicated, constricted and would need to do some tricks here and there, but I think it would be possible.

I have also thought that it would be great if there were a firefox extension that let you browse gemini. I don't know if it would be possible, but it would probably had a nicer interface than lagrange.
