No, you can use your own account if you like but the “default” usage is to log in anonymously

Sorry, I’m confused here, why do you need to make a Google account?

I wouldn’t have minded using their app instead, but I don’t have the Play Store on my phone (I’m on GOS)

Any reason why you aren’t just using the Aurora store?

I’m not sure even Trump’s bowels will be under his control by the time he leaves office

I’ve been using Qwant for about a year now, they and Ecosia built their own EU based index a while ago. I’ve been pretty happy with it

They did introduce an AI overview thing a few months back, but it can be permanently turned off with two clicks

Wasn’t Esperanto made by a Polish dude?

Thank you for your work on this project!

Okay, good start. Now force recruiters to tell you which company you’ll be applying for before you apply and we’ll be getting somewhere…

Welp, now we need a fifth panel with an Argentinian Miku 😞

I’m on degoogled lineage OS and I have 2 banking apps that both work.

Only thing I miss really is having contactless payments, but I just carry my wallet around again like I used to and use my card

Bussy butt-rash

Also vegan sausages exist

Regeneration - it’s a lottery

That is absolutely provably false, the reason no party put forward a candidate in this by-election was to not legitimise Farage’s publicity stunt.
