<h1>Set as default search engine</h1>
|
|
<a href="#firefox"><h2 id="firefox">On Firefox and other Gecko based browsers</h2></a>
|
|
To set this as your default search engine on Firefox, right click the URL bar and select <div class="code-inline">Add "4get"</div>. Then, visit <a href="about:preferences#search" target="_BLANK" class="link">about:preferences#search</a> and select <div class="code-inline">4get</div> in the dropdown menu.
|
|
|
|
<a href="#chrome"><h2 id="chrome">On Chromium and Blink based browsers</h2></a>
|
|
Click the 3 superpositioned dots at the top right of the screen and click on <div class="code-inline">Settings</div>, then search for <div class="code-inline">default search engine</div>, or visit <a href="chrome://settings/searchEngines">chrome://settings/searchEngines</a>.<br><br>
|
|
|
|
Once you're there, click the pencil on the last entry under "Search engines" (it's probably DuckDuckGo). Once you do that, a popup will appear. Populate it with the following information:
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><b>Field</b></td>
|
|
<td><b>Value</b></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>Search engine</td>
|
|
<td>{%server_name%}</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>Shortcut</td>
|
|
<td>{%server_name%}</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>URL with %s in place of query</td>
|
|
<td>https://4g.flossboxin.org.in/web?s=%s</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
Once that's done, click <div class="code-inline">Save</div>. Then, on the right handside of the newly created entry, open the dropdown menu and select <div class="code-inline">Make default</div>.

<a href="#what-is-this"><h2 id="what-is-this">What is this?</h2></a>
|
|
This is a metasearch engine that gets results from other engines, and strips away all of the tracking parameters and Microsoft bolderdash they add. Most of the other alternatives to Foogle ridicule themselves off about being ""privacy respecting"" or whatever they call themselves, but it always turns out to be a total lie, and I just got fed up with that, honestly. Alternatives like Searx or YaCy all do not work wonders at all, so I made my own thing.
|
|
FYI: This instance is a fork of the original 4Get, and I changed it to my liking with most of the code being original. You can call this a mirror, if you like.

<a href="#goal"><h2 id="goal">My goal</h2></a>
|
|
Provide users with a privacy oriented, extremely lightweight, ad free, free as in freedom (and free food!) way to search for documents around the internet, with minimal, optional javascript code. My long term goal would be to build my own index (that doesn't suck) and provide users with an unbiased search engine, with no political inclinations.

<a href="#information-sharing"><h2 id="information-sharing">Do you share information with third parties?</h2></a>
|
|
Your search queries and supplied filters are shared with the scraper you chose (so I can get the search results). I don't share anything else (that means I don't share your IP address, location, or anything of this kind). There is no way that site can know you're the one searching for something, <u>unless you send out a search query that de-anonymises you.</u> For example, a search query like "hello my full legal name is jonathan smith and i want pictures of greenland" would definitively blow your cover. 4get doesn't contain ads or any third party javascript applets or trackers. I don't profile you.<br><br>

TL;DR assume those websites can see what you search for, but can't see who you are (unless you're really dumb).

<a href="#hosting"><h2 id="hosting">Where is this website hosted?</h2></a>
|
|
My instance is hosted in Germany.

Use <div class="code-inline">/</div> to focus the search box.<br><br>
|
|
|
|
When the image viewer is open, you can use the following keybinds:<br>
|
|
<div class="code-inline">Up</div>, <div class="code-inline">Down</div>, <div class="code-inline">Left</div>, <div class="code-inline">Right</div> to rotate the image.<br>
|
|
<div class="code-inline">CTRL+Up</div>, <div class="code-inline">CTRL+Down</div>, <div class="code-inline">CTRL+Left</div>, <div class="code-inline">CTRL+Right</div> to mirror the image.<br>
|
|
<div class="code-inline">Escape</div> to exit the image viewer.

You just sort of have to take my word for it right now. If you'd rather trust yourself instead of me (I believe in you!!), all of the code on this website is available trough my <a href="https://git.flossboxin.org.in/FbIN/4get/" class="link">git page</a> for you to host on your own machines. Just a reminder: if you're the sole user of your instance, it doesn't take immense brain power for Microsoft to figure out you basically just switched IP addresses. Invite your friends to use your instance!
