Hello, all,
It's very gratifying to see such a fullsome response to my initial
message and so many interesting and useful ideas being discussed. At the
very least I don't feel so alone in my pain anymore. :)
As for switching to another search engine, namely duckduckgo, that's the
frist thing I did; what prompted me to post here is that I feel this
is a trend which is going to accelerate in the coming months. Already
Last year, Reddit and Facebook made their services totally inaccessible
to text-only browsers and, much worse, Stackoverflow/stackexchange
experimented with it this year before eventually rolling it back.
Anyway, I feel the time to act and chart a course forward is pretty much
now or never.
Thanks again for all your responses,
S.M.
