After many months we are bringing back our TROM.tf Search! search.trom.tf/ thanks to Danny!
But with a twist. Instead of hosting a SearX instance we are using a script that checks the best and most reliable instances and uses them randomly for every search. It is a meta-search engine. This way we make sure it is reliable and our IP will never get blocked by google and the rest.
For those who do not know, SearX is itself a sort of meta-search engine, pulling results from google, DDG, yahoo and more, removing the ads and trackers, and basically allowing you to search without those viruses.
So, we are finally back!
To add it to Firefox simply right click the URL after the page loads, and then add the TROM Search as a search engine. From Firefox's settings make sure you select it to be as default for your browser.

Trump Told Crowd 'You Won't Have to Vote Anymore' in 4 Years?
His political opponents framed the quote as evidence of an alleged plan to change constitutional provisions limiting presidents to two terms.
TROMjaro is alive and well. And we keep it up to date and relevant - tromjaro.com - I love our Linux distro! :) I love when it is stable and just works. And we also ship with so many tweaks you can simply use it. No ads, no trackers, all apps available in Linux from one single place - click and install. I love it. A very positive project indeed :)

Funny how everyone thinks everyone uses Whatsapp. Almost as if it is a default messaging app for phones. Pisses me off. I have a hard time trying to explain to people that I do not use it, I use Signal. They look at me as if I am a weirdo. But fuck them :D - if anyone wants to contact me, use Signal. It is a shame that an ad company, facebook who owns whatsapp, has become the default messaging platform for most humans on this planet.
But well, ad companies like google, tiktok, and the like are used for all sorts of online means by everyone.
Sad. And we should not accept this situation.

When contacting someone I use SMS/RCS, and I'm simply not responding to Whatsapp direct messages, or maybe one day later. This sends a strong message (pun).
But I still need Whatsapp, and Fb Messenger above all, because groups are there, less known friends are there, and because sometimes conversations start with Facebook stories.

in reply to Andrew Adams • •That will get our ip banned by google pretty fast. You have to put a lot of effort to avoid that. And currently I cannot do that...
Or do you mean a metasearch for invidious instances?

in reply to TROM • • •Doesn't seem to be responding to input: I can enter a query, and select the radio buttons, but clicking the search button or hitting enter does nothing.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Maybe it requires some wacky 3rd party permissions?
