Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

Any recommendations? I use firefox, but haven't quite moved from google search yet. Last I heard DuckDuckGo was doing some shady stuff, but that was a while ago

there are a few; qwant, ddg, ecosia, startpage, searx etc. They're all pretty good.

As for the shady stuff, what was it? was it that the ceo (i think) was in bed with the advertising industry? If so, people change. He may well have been in bed with them, but from what I have seen, he's not anymore. Anyway, there are lots of other search engines/agregators available.

brave search is the closest alternate that actually has decent results
