Tell HN: I haven’t been to a search engine website in almost a year

I used to use DuckDuckGo.com but then switched exclusively to the CLI https://github.com/jarun/ddgr. I've been happier and more productive since.


Seems like you're accessing the website via a CLI. So you have probably been to a search engine website today.


Weird flex, but ok?


You still "went to" a search engine within the last year, just using a non-visual document rendering user agent. DDG logs (if there are any) would still show you were there, just not with a typical browser.


It's semantic nitpicking, but I support the OP's characterisation. If they're not using a browser to visit a web page, I wouldn't say they "went to" the page.


Interesting. Would you happen to know if there is a version for Google? I guess you could just use !g


There was a version for Google by the same developer, but it's no longer being updated.

Thanks!
