Use Searx. It has multiple instances and some of those instances are hosted on hidden services.
What really annoys the fuck out of me is how TBB uses fucking duckduckjew as the default search engine and every fucking time I search something I need to spend 10 seconds waiting to be redirected to their non-niggerscript version of the site. Who the fuck thought this was acceptable?
>>1412 I have been meaning to make a thread on /tech/ about this but haven't got around to it. I have not had the "no results" issue, but I did hit a cuckflare message informing me I was a bad goy a few days back on tor browser. That NEVER happened in the 7+ years I've used startpage/ixquick, so they have definitely been jewed.
The days of startpage being the best non-google search engine are over, and it's probably intentional because they were just as good as google for speed and quality of results. Their new proxy is complete shit, and most pages fail to load or infinitely refresh, and the image search is worse, because you don't get the option to just view the raw image. I haven't noticed search results being pozzed or anything but who really knows without a stringent data analysis, which can't be done now since the old startpage doesn't exist anymore.
>>1421 >Who the fuck thought this was acceptable?
The jews who run the project. For the same reason they still choose NiggerScript over the superior uMatrix after all these years.
>>1423 Wish there was some sort of significant fork that used sane addons and settings. It's fucking retarded that it defaults to allowing JS so when you use tails you have to constantly remember to turn it off. So many things about this browser are pants on head retarded.
>>1428 >goes to great lengths to protect user anonymity
>leaves javascript enabled every time the user starts up the tor browser
What the fuck were they thinking?
>>1437 they're trying to strike a balance between security and user friendliness. Tor is a lot less anonymous if you're the only one with your ISP using it, so you want lots of people to use it. Even when they inevitably use tor for checking facebook, that still provides cover for users that care about anonymity.

not sure about that, seems to be an incoherent mishmash of a shit ton of different protocols.
>>1454 >>1455 >i2p

The i2pd client is written in c++, which could introduce other issues but at least isn't java. It is also faster than java i2p and can be compiled most anywhere.
>>1441 Yup, I don't believe it can remember that you turned JS off even while using a persistent volume that remembers bookmarks and shit. So that one time you just so happen to forget to disable JS you're fucked. Maybe I'm missing something but from my perspective TBB should ALWAYS default to the most secure option in ANY scenario.
>>1428 >Wish there was some sort of significant fork that used sane addons and settings
I'm working on my personal fork of Tor Browser (Firefox) and at the moment it has some minor changes to the C++ code.
Firefox can be really good, but Mozilla is ruining it big time. That said, changes are easily made and the code is pretty readable (even for me).
Question, would you consider running a fork of Tor Browser from an 'anonymous' person from the Internet?
>>1525 Not him but if it was a patch that I could look at myself then maybe
Otherwise I definitely wouldn't if there isn't already well established with a sizable userbase for it
>>1421 >DuckDuckGo
I've been using it for much too long (because of Tor Browser), here are some of the problems with DuckDuckGo:
- They use Amazon Web Services (which has a multi-million $ contract with the CIA)
- It is initially developed by and owned by (((Gabriel Weinberg))), which ran a service called NamesDatabase (name says it all) which essentially massively violated the privacy of many users and encoraged people to refer other people and enter valid address information.
- I think they're pretty honest about it: "We don't track you, but others [CIA, Amazon] do."
>>1526 Right, that's a good method. Though there needs to be a good instructions on how to compile Firefox (preferably offline)
FYI: Compiling it took about 2,5 hours (on an average second-hand laptop) and making a minor change after the first compilation takes about 15 minutes.
>>1539 Hm, looking more into WebExtensions (quite limited in capabilities) I have come to the conclusion that for what I'm trying to do it is enough and I do not have to change the C++ code to achieve my goal. Though there are still security fixes to be made* which require you to change the C++ code and re-compile. Also much can be achieved by tweaking the settings in "about:config".

>>1542 >WebExtensions
The thing with Extensions on Firefox is that you are required to send your extension to them and acquire a signature from Mozilla before it can be used in Firefox. Setting "xpinstall.signatures.required" to "false" isn't working for me (the XPI is giving me an error while I'm able to load the extension at the "about:debugging" page). Is there any way for people around this, still?
>Setting "xpinstall.signatures.required" to "false" isn't working for me
Nevermind, this works. I just took uBlock Origin removed the META_INF folder, changed it a bit and added it to Tor Browser with no issue (only a warning that it is unverified).
By the way, setting "xpinstall.signatures.required" to false in everything except the Release version of Firefox still works.
Since 2 or 3 days, startpage gives me "no results" for any search when using Tor through qutebrowser. Am I alone?
