    Secondary argument for duck duck go: it doesn't have to serve you ads and random shit, so I think it's legitimately faster than Google now. Like idk how Google got slower than it was in 2002.

      I've never been burned by malware in all my years of using TPB (although I do use 1337x these days since the site itself is way better and not down all the fucking time). With TPB you gotta look for the torrents with the green or purple skull next to their name, that shows it's from a VIP/trusted user.

      I do but that's because I don't know any other site to find torrents.

          I 1337x because of its moderation, but sometimes it just doesn’t have what I want. I wish I could figure out how to use those huge Russian torrent sites

          Zamunda.net is another Bulgarian torrent site with pretty decent offerings. Has an English version and I've been using it problem-free for a good 15 years, maybe more

    But I only ever got there by searching (googling 🤓) for it. How will I get there now??

            Doesn’t stop you from bringing firefox on a thumb drive (yet) but it really blows.

            School computers often have administrative policies that prevent students from running any software not directly approved by the admin.

                That's nice, but seems to be rapidly disappearing unfortunately. I did similar stuff in high school and I can't imagine how bad the situation is for a lot of students now.

                I nabbed a privileged account password by writing a keylogger and used it when the teacher needed to unlock a a site with course content that was blocked by our overzealous internet filter.

                Also some moron (not me) actually stole a processor out of a school PC lmao. a decent xeon.

                Holy shit those are beefy school computers. We only had okay-ish (at the time) Pentiums in ours.

            I think this is where the confusion started.

            "DuckDuckGo (also abbreviated as DDG) is an internet search engine that emphasizes protecting searchers' privacy and avoiding the filter bubble of personalized search results. DuckDuckGo does not show search results from content farms. It uses various APIs of other websites to show quick results to queries and for traditional links it uses the help of its partners (mainly Bing) and its own crawler."

                Yes, I meat to say "I think this is where the confusion started" but got overeager and hit "Reply" first.

    google was always the worst search engine to search for torrents, even bing is better, but DuckDuckGo is the best :duck-dance:
