  • Since the internet is now slop, ive been doing this with almost any search, and its sooooo good. Kagi is better, but this is free. I was getting so pissed off with how slopified search has become for everything.

    The slop is real and, frankly, hard to read and at the same time a very convenient format for an article. I wouldn’t go that far as outright rejecting them, as it’s like shooting the messenger. I care more about the message. In practice, I have the reflexive urge to scroll to the Conclusion portion to check if the “slop” resource is worth reading. Don’t have the time to read the entirety of all articles.

    Only downside is remembering to change my search setting every time !

    My default search engine is a Searx instance with specific settings. It’s a pain to configure, so that gets saved as a bookmark.
