Thanks exactly what I was looking for. I wish they’d give more updates 😅

anyone know what their plans are exactly in terms of switching away from bing?

also altough I smile everytime im not using google or bing directly anymore while getting these amazing results with that nice qwant UI:

it’s image search is my biggest complaint usecase wise. the results are small, non-scalable and theres no similar search upon focusing one result

not sure about swiss, they shady as hell if you have scepticism towards rich people greed

anyone whos competent in the matter: what about the french competition chat.mistral.ai

is the image low res for everyone else too? Im using proton-lemmy, maybe thats an issue? tHE LOWRES MAKES ME SO MAD

thank you so much, this is very helpful really

so a personal ad is all the data could be abused for? I mean meta recently just misused rights of book authors to train their AI with lots of terabytes worth of literature.

Its just a business expense, and so is I imagine personal data storage. Data sciene & full auto analysis catered to your corpo demands could be very powerful and evil in my eyes, idk I wish I could somehow be fully convinced that theres no danger, but I just am not as long as corporates see these things as business expenses and exists like nothing happened

Thanks i will look into this.

I’m new to privacy and just want to cut all data selling opportunities for big corpo, does that change or would you add to your response after knowing that? I’m pretty uneducated on the whole backend mechanics, it’s just the possibility of ill intent and the damage corporations can do with such data that frightens me

Your information seems very knowledgeable, so I will be very thankful for more guidance :p

Buying a VPN seems to be something I need to budget in one day… It’s not that easy during these times to get money flexible

on that note, no chat logins in all alternatives mentioned. at least these that also list minimizing data transfer to amazon :(

Would love to hear insights on why Mozilla with uBlock is worse than these front ends that dont specifically list minimizing communication with amazon efforts but only “no ads/open source” (i dont even know what what difference open source makes in that case)

Could it possibly work to still participate in the chats (like i imagine a throwaway account for example) or does that break the whole concept of privacy? How does that work exactly.

Thank you for your contribution!

also: anyone got emotes and other browser plug-ins to work on the player/site?

Thank you for your contribution all!

doesnt mention privacy, it even lists telemetry as an anti-feature

In what way is the app more privacy-friendly?

possibly working with addons like ublock (vern cc has ad breaks) and emote support (so chat isnt a cryptic jungle)

EDIT: added more description to my interest in the EDIT of the post
