  • Same here, I can usually find everything within the first 3-4 entries unless it’s a bit too abstract than it ends up at the bottom of the 1st page. I don’t understand people complaining about it so much as I depend on search engines for day to day and work related stuff so literally several times everyday. Although it’s possible I got used to how it works but if so then I would have had to swap between ddg and google alot if the quality actually was that low.




  • For me It’s music discovery. Trying to find a particular net radio manually throughout the web that fills your criteria of music is obviously hard so this extension makes it easier to browse.

    Other than that I use the browser for work and leisure so I end up browsing alot, since the browser is on most of the time I can turn on the radio and play faster from the extension instead of browsing to the dedicated website or swap to a different app for the same function. You can make the argument that a bookmark would work just as well but you can do it in the add-on too and make a library list of them that you can press the next button to change to a different one.




  • In alot of the developed countries you’d get the local dub if available as well as the english track. The most common case would be to have the local language subtitles along with the english track. It mostly depends on an IP being picked up for localization by a local publishing studio and passing the censor board of the respective country.

    In alot of developing countries you’d not get anything other than the english track so no subtitles at all. However it’s actually not so definitive because if you went to a store to buy say “SpongeBob anthology DVD collection” you’d most likely end up with a bootleg set which is just pirated off the web and burned onto a couple of DVDs with a generic SpongBob Logo sticker(Literally) on the DVDs. So basically random, it could have subtitles burned onto the video in arabic for all you know.



  • I love my Armored Core and Baldur’s Gate for obvious reasons, but there are some absolute gems in the FOSS scene too (And I’m not even gonna mention all the indie stuff) like Mindustry, Xonotic, Zero-K, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Unciv just off the top of my head.

    Even though alot of them are just rehash of older titles or abandoned projects but even those are improved far beyond their original iteration. What I actually find problematic with FOSS games are stuff like low player count leading to a poor multiplayer experience and most games being very old school-ish (Xonotic is literally an arena shooter made on basically the Quake engine 🤷)
