I will call this "GameOver Monopoly"

This explains why DDG searches have been getting worse lately.

What? Is that really true?

Do you have a link? I cannot find anything regarding this.

@Benedikt read the tags

@GiddyNaya Oh, man, you've got me!

@GiddyNaya
Sneaky one!
Gave me a li'l heart attack
13b ='D

I just thought it's not April yet when I started reading this.

We might not live til April, so we might as well enjoy the joke

Horrible thought

@GiddyNaya FOR FUCKS SAKE I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE

Nah

👀 See people trembling. I think such a news would be more contaminating than Coronavirus.

Even if it was true, another search engine would appear to take its place, although it would take some time for it to become as relevant as DDG is now. Remember what happened when a Chinese company bought almost 50% of the shares of Opera Software?

So now April fools jokes are sent out early ....
Does this mean most of us wont make it till April first .-. O_O

@kamen For better or worse, Opera market share is between 2-3%, and has been between 2-3% for the last 2 decades. I'm still puzzled as to whom that browser exactly caters to.

I think DDG has way more on the line though, as pretty much everyone who uses it really has a stake, either for practical or ideological reasons, in keeping their search queries private.

But hey, Yandex search is pretty good. At least your searches for lewd furry pictures will be on the servers of the Russian FSS instead of the NSA 🤷‍♂

Holy fuck, man! Somehow that headline scared me even more than the Covid-19 news!

Thanks for the heart attack

@molaram You better bring proofs…

god damn
why you do me like that?
this shit scared me
