Mullvad's search engine ( leta(dot)mullvad(dot) net ).

Due to g••gle messing internally with their stuff to make metasearch engines like my preferred Searx engines a lot more worse by throwing everything unrelated and also me always making sure whatever browser I use is in private mode so I don't have to clear anything like cookies or browser history, I find it so much easier to just use them.

Also, Wikipedia. Specifically for anything like looking to see what license a software might be under, a link to said software, or maybe where a company is located. Makes my life so much easier. When I get a job in the future, I am absolutely gonna send them monthly donations.

Mullvad’s search engine ( leta(dot)mullvad(dot) net ).

Some Searx engines have mullvad's search engine as an available source.

My problem is that, last I checked, Searx(dot)be don't have that turned on as a default and after a while I got tired of going into preferences and changing everything every time I open the browser. Especially when I'm clearing sire data and cookies every time I close the browser.

I am absolutely gonna set up my own instance in the future to solve this problem when I can, but until then I'll end up sticking with the next best thing I can think of, which is Mullvad.

I have the "URL to restore your preferences in another browser" bookmarked for easy access. I wish Firefox can handle that when adding a custom search engine, but this is good enough.

Just be sure you know the difference between editions. 5e.tools is for the new 5e rules, and 2014.5e.tools is for the real ones

https://www.themoviedb.org/ over IMDb when I want movie info.

https://fmhy.net/ when I feel like borrowing some media from my neighbor on the internet.

Bandcamp when I want to find new artists to listen to.

Transfer.zip if I need to send some files to someone quickly and securely. Alternatively there is also blaze.vercel.app.

And of course, tza.red to play an online version of Tzar: Burden of the Crown, one of the best RTS games. There is also an app for Windows.
