Mullvad's search engine ( leta(dot)mullvad(dot) net ).

Due to gβ€’β€’gle messing internally with their stuff to make metasearch engines like my preferred Searx engines a lot more worse by throwing everything unrelated and also me always making sure whatever browser I use is in private mode so I don't have to clear anything like cookies or browser history, I find it so much easier to just use them.

Also, Wikipedia. Specifically for anything like looking to see what license a software might be under, a link to said software, or maybe where a company is located. Makes my life so much easier. When I get a job in the future, I am absolutely gonna send them monthly donations.

Mullvad’s search engine ( leta(dot)mullvad(dot) net ).

Some Searx engines have mullvad's search engine as an available source.

Oh neat, I'll have to swap searx to use it!

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My problem is that, last I checked, Searx(dot)be don't have that turned on as a default and after a while I got tired of going into preferences and changing everything every time I open the browser. Especially when I'm clearing sire data and cookies every time I close the browser.

I am absolutely gonna set up my own instance in the future to solve this problem when I can, but until then I'll end up sticking with the next best thing I can think of, which is Mullvad.

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

I have the "URL to restore your preferences in another browser" bookmarked for easy access. I wish Firefox can handle that when adding a custom search engine, but this is good enough.

5e.tools ftw!

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just be sure you know the difference between editions. 5e.tools is for the new 5e rules, and 2014.5e.tools is for the real ones

[–] darkmogool@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Jup, I know… I use both versions.

https://www.themoviedb.org/ over IMDb when I want movie info.

https://fmhy.net/ when I feel like borrowing some media from my neighbor on the internet.

Bandcamp when I want to find new artists to listen to.

Transfer.zip if I need to send some files to someone quickly and securely. Alternatively there is also blaze.vercel.app.

And of course, tza.red to play an online version of Tzar: Burden of the Crown, one of the best RTS games. There is also an app for Windows.

https://19hz.info/

I love dancing and vibing to good music until sunrise. 19hz shows me electronic music event listings all over the US and Canada. I love using it at home but I really love using it when I travel. If I wanna get out and have fun in city I'm not familiar with it's my first stop
