I’ve wondered the same as OP and never saw one in real life.

Probably it’s a regional thing, like how in some countries (as I recently discovered) they don’t know what a cheese slicer is and just butcher cheese with a knife.

I don’t know any other search that lets you block urls from results. Blocking stuff like social media and Amazon cleans up the results very well.

I tried Wayland for a day but went back to x11 (using KDE Neon) because of annoyances. Mostly input-related issues:

– I used Fusuma to remap extra mouse buttons, which doesn’t work anymore

– Touchpad scrolling is buggy and pinch to zoom barely works

– Espanso has a Wayland version but doesn’t work most of the time

– select with shift+arrow and release shift: it also releases the arrow so you have to press it again (seems small but annoys me)

And there’s problems with windows opening on the wrong screen and then completely crashing when you try to move it (under Wine with full screen at least), and some apps with weird behaviors like drag and drop not working.

Don’t forget Anna’s Archive. I found most comics I was looking for lately, also non-English.

I accidentally watched a YouTube video on a browser without blocking. It started with an ad. I thought I’d just endure it this time. Then another ad. OK, just this time then. Suddenly, another ad in the middle of the video. I gave up. Who’d have the patience to sit through this?

Then there’s Google’s habit of completely ignoring the browser’s language settings so I have to sit though ads I don’t even understand.
