Living Room / Re: Looking for alternative script to search site
« on: March 30, 2021, 02:04 PM »
So basically, if Presearch is selected, then this is the part i would use
%22http://engine.presearch.org/search?q=%22+q.replace(/\s+/g,%22+%22)
to replace Google's?

Did use 4wd's last script and it isn't responding.

(btw - thanks for the sweat out brushing up on the coding language 4wd!
Illustration is much appreciated too and hope other newbies will find it helpful).

@4wd - would it be too much to illustrate Presearch as example?  :-[

Re-read your post at least 4 times...

Wish i was a coder!

The little html i learned years ago, is long gone.

Thought about after and then the day got going...

javascript:q=%22%22+(window.getSelection?window.getSelection():document.getSelection?document.getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text);if(!q)q=prompt(%22Search%20terms%20[leave%20selection%20and%20box%20blank%20to%20list%20all%20pages]%20...%22).replace(/\s\+/g,%22%252B%22);if(q!=null)location=%22http://www.google.com/search?q=%22+q.replace(/\s+/g,%22+%22)+%22+site:%22+location.hostname;void(0);

Living Room / Looking for alternative script to search site
« on: March 29, 2021, 10:06 AM »
Have a script in my bookmarks to search a site, but it always uses Google.

Is there a way to have one that can use another search engine?

Startpage, DuckDuckGo, Presearch, Qwant are some of my favorite alternatives.

General Software Discussion / Re: What Android Apps Do You Use?
« on: January 31, 2021, 08:20 AM »

Here's a list of most of the interesting Android apps I'm using. I didn't include some I use a lot because they are either too niche or local (country)-specific

These are the ones that I think will be of most interest to other forum members:


  • Bromite: in their own words "Bromite is Chromium plus ad blocking and privacy enhancements". Not my default browser, though
-city_zen (January 06, 2020, 12:55 AM)

Bromite is no more?

Update: no more on Google Play but still downloadable from Bromites' website.

General Software Discussion / Looking for Youtube script to automatically translate with English subtitle
« on: January 25, 2021, 09:12 AM »
From a users point of view...

Is there an installable script to make Youtube automatically translate and show in English subtitles?

Independent of any browser?

Would be handy for elderly who are often non-geeks and deaf.

@Deozaan - thanks!

Appreciate your footwork!  :Thmbsup:

Testing Brave nightly (on Windows and MX KDE beta1) and it is fairly solid but not yet into that "conversation" piece.
Not many people i know use Brave. At most, they go into Firefox (instead of default Edge).

"Typing Insights"? - O&O has you covered:

Then again, if you keep things in your Google account, your Outlook account or surf the web... they will surely find things out about you (even if you don't have a Facebook account).

I'm not a coder, but similar stories will surely help some to appreciate and maybe eventually embrace this.

Kind of miss the ol' StumbleUpon site at times...  :(

Anyway, i stumbledupon this site today and couldn't help to laugh at things posted on their "about" page:

What is The Babylon Bee?
The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life.

The Babylon Bee was created ex nihilo on the eighth day of the creation week, exactly 6,000 years ago. We have been the premier news source through every major world event, from the Tower of Babel and the Exodus to the Reformation and the War of 1812. We focus on just the facts, leaving spin and bias to other news sites like CNN and Fox News.

If you would like to complain about something on our site, take it up with God.

Unlike other satire sites, everything we post is 100% verified by Snopes.com.

Funny that you would mention that IainB!

Had (once upon a time) Tim's role in elementary school and was just as timid as he.  :o

Merry Christmas to you all and may God bless you too!  :-*  :Thmbsup:

Have un-installed Brave all-together (on Android too).

Bookmark+Password import was ineffective.

Even Vivaldi (who aren't as well funded) do a better job at both!   :-*

Cat looks like it's impatiently waiting for a passenger.

A second look at the car seats and you may see two dark eyes on each seat.
Black cats as in previous post?
