Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

Hello!

What do you think about 4get.ca?

I switched to it some weeks ago and I really like it. It provides a proxy search through some engines (DDG, Google, Bing, Yandex etc.) and I quite like the layout of it.

You can also self-host it if you want, but I haven't tried that out yet.

kind regards

Interesting idea but be forewarned about a lot of unnecessary expletives in just about everything ;)
I guess lolcat is a 4chan person.

That makes it genuine. This person is about ~22 years old. http://web.archive.org/web/202309141939 ... lolcat.ca/
I also like the error messages with the s word. :twisted:

Hello!

What do you think about 4get.ca?
I like it, I use it quite often.
For me I find it just more unique and full of character (and less bloated too :mrgreen: ) than something like SearX or Duckduckgo (both really great options nonetheless.)
Talked to lolcat before when I was troubleshooting issues with my instance, hes really approachable and nice to talk to.
