@dillo that's good timing tho, since we should probably be moving on to other search engines.
@capeta yep.
Extremely good timing indeed:

@capeta @dillo Some lightweight alternatives to #Google:

- https://searx.be
- https://mojeek.com
- http://frogfind.com
they fear dillo to steal their marketshare :)
@dillo Petty assholes at Google. Do they feel threatened by Dillo?
@1eye I would say probably a side-effect of AI/LLM crawling Google searches non-stop.
@dillo AI bots posing as Dillo would be pretty hilarious!
@dillo
I thought Google enforced JS a long time ago, so this didn't surprise me.
Good that I don't google anything, I always use DDG or other search engines.
@dillo
Stick with duck duck go
@dillo As I’ve said previously:

“If your website can’t display all its text contents and pages on Links/Lynx/w3m, then you’re fired. Disabling JavaScript should not make it unusable (since Wikipedia can be used with JS turned off, you have no excuse)”.
@dillo So many people getting fired and the ones that keep their job are prioritizing this shit?
@dillo Have you heard of it #Google @searchliaison?
I've also filed the issue here: https://support.google.com/websearch/thread/318978583
@dillo It's official: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/17/google-begins-requiring-javascript-for-google-search/
However, you can still access Google Search without JS using this user agent string: "Lynx/2.8.6rel.5 libwww-FM/2.14"
