In case anyone was wondering, Weinberg is a pushover with no constitution. I once asked him why #DuckDuckGo doesn't filter out privacy-abusing #Cloudflare sites & it triggered him. He had no sound defense.. no good answer for it. It's clear that he simply does not have the guts to truly deliver a privacy-respecting search engine. He's fixated on serving normies who are privacy-naive.
@resist1984 Perhaps a Cloudflare MITM warning instead of filtering out the sites completely from search results? I think warnings about MITM for HTTPS is much more relevant than the common site cookie warnings.
@modrobert Studies show that a search result is *twice* as likely to be clicked on than the result immediately below it. So rank matters. A privacy respecting search engine does not give high ranks to Cloudflare sites.
@modrobert Consider what Ss does: it folds the #Cloudflare results at the bottom of the page. If the leading results are lacking, you can scroll to the bottom, unfold the CF sites & click the favicons to visit the archived mirrors of those sites. Ss: sercxi.nnpaefp7pkadbxxkhz2agtbv2a4g5sgo2fbmv3i7czaua354334uqqad.onion
@resist1984 That Onion URL must be broken, can't load it over Tor. Anyway, I guess that's one way to do it, still prefer a warning so the visitor knows HTTPS to this site is MITMed.
@otso @modrobert The onion URL works, but not for everyone. Tor Browser has no issues unless you've disabled #DoNotTrack. Other browsers will work, but you must enable DNT. If it still doesn't work, plz let me know and i'll make it known.
@resist1984 @otso I'm not using Tor browsers, using Chromium over Tor daemon. There is a '.' in the URL, that looks wrong to me, and it doesn't load.
@resist1984 @otso sercxi.nnpaefp7pkadbxxkhz2agtbv2a4g5sgo2fbmv3i7czaua354334uqqad.onion
Specifically the first '.' after 'sercxi' there looks wrong, hidden services Onion URL is a key plus the ".onion" part, and that key will fail.
@modrobert @otso the hostname "sercxi." is essential. If I omit the hostname, it fails even in Tor Browser. If you prefer, you can visit https://onion.sercxi.eu.org/ from Tor and it will redirect to the onion site. There is also https://sercxi.eu.org/, which works exclusively over clearnet.
https://onion.sercxi.eu.org/ in Tor Browser it directs to the onion site, but if I go past the warning I get a blank page, favicon (an umbrella) is there, nothing else.
https://sercxi.eu.org/ did now work in Firefox Developer Edition
this must be something experimental still
the point is to eliminate or go around Cloudflare?
would be nice to know a little bit more about this project.
@otso @modrobert Ss helps you avoid #Cloudflare. First, it gives results that are not polluted with CF sites. It's ideal to avoid CF sites completely. If for some reason the non-CF sites are lacking, you can scroll to the bottom of the results and expand the list of CF sites that were filtered out. From there, you can click on the favicons to visit the archive.org mirrors of the CF sites.
@modrobert @otso Ss also flags non-CF sites that block Tor, so you know to go straight to the archives.
@modrobert @otso Another thing to try is "Ansero". It's another search engine apparently made by the same project: https://ansero.nnpaefp7pkadbxxkhz2agtbv2a4g5sgo2fbmv3i7czaua354334uqqad.onion/
@otso @modrobert The umbrella is indeed the correct favicon, but it should not be a blank page. It would be interesting to know what happens if you skip the query form & try a simple GET request, such as: https://sercxi.nnpaefp7pkadbxxkhz2agtbv2a4g5sgo2fbmv3i7czaua354334uqqad.onion/?res&rq=companies%20that%20use%20facial%20recognition Notice that everything after "rq=" is the query.
