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.

We have tested it on mobile/desktop with Firefox and other browsers based on it, and browsers based on chromium such as Cromite. All works fine.

Works very well, after allowing cross-domain XMLHttpRequests.

Thanks!

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 :)

This is probably slightly besides the point, but I absolutely love your collection of backgrounds :)


The usual Manjaro Stable update plus we disabled one more of the Firefox’s terrible settings, one that allows advertisers to track you a little bit better.




Although not much since we are also severely underfunded, TROM is donating 10 Euros a month to Yunohost donate.yunohost.org/ and is encouraging you to do the same if you use Yunohost and can afford. Let's hope more people support these projects.
