Oh huh, TIL. I had always assumed they were all webkit just due to the amount of compatibility code I’ve had to implement in CSS with -webkit styles. It makes sense that a fork like Blink would be backwards compatible with those though

Chromium and its forks actually all use WebKit as well: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/displaying-a-web-page-in-chrome/

WebKit: Rendering engine shared between Safari, Chromium, and all other WebKit-based browsers.

Ah, you’re right, my bad. I could have sworn I remembered a search syntax on ddg for searching different sites with an anonymous query - apparently ! operators are not it

DuckDuckGo can search using almost any search engine anonymously. Want to search Bing? !b query. Google? !g query. Scratch this, I remembered wrong what those do.
I do believe there’s a setting to aggregate the top results from several different engines as the default search algorithm.

I will absolutely check this out, thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: I can’t get searx working at all for me, but I went ahead and implemented whoogle support

Each one has its upsides and downsides. Kbin’s search is more convenient for certain use cases, but it suffers from the same problem as Reddit’s search - it always sorts by new no matter what. In addition, it can only index instances with which kbin has federated. FediSearch should in theory index every instance, regardless of federation status, and do so in such a way that the most useful posts show first (assuming Google does its job).

I’m hoping to expand the project to hopefully be a bit more robust - I’ll definitely keep this on my radar

Y’know I was originally pretty upset about everything with Reddit but since I found the amazing community here (and nuked my Reddit account so I’m watching from the sidelines), I can’t help but find all this hilarious. Went from upsetting API changes to the John Oliver invasion in a few days and I’m all here for it.

Personally I’m just going to miss the oddly specific meme subreddits like r/breadstapledtotrees and r/suspiciousquotes
