The Smol Web

Community for the appreciation and sharing of links, resources, and culture of: the smol web / small web / ~(w)~ / the indie web / or even the non-www internet (gemini, gopher, etc).

Back of a napkin definition, subject to change: if it's internet accessible and is maintained by a person, especially for non-commercial aims, then I would consider it smol. There are, however, much stricter definitions.

Unfortunately after learning more about Kagi I prefer not to support their practices. But I really liked their search especially the small web search. What's a similar site I could use for this?

Curious on practices you didn’t agree with. I use Orion browser a lot on my Mac.

As one of the many services they use to provide the best results they can, they use Yandex and just pay them some amount. Yandex is a Russian product.

That's really all there is to it.

Fyi Cory Doctorow used kagi because it worked well.

He says that they basically use Google under the hood without Google fucking with the results you get it tracking you.

Not sure if he still uses it or not
