This might be useful for active Reddit users once they sunset Old Reddit for good, but this doesn't solve the issue of lurkers being unable to use an Old-Reddit-like interface.

The current alternatives being:

- RedLib

- That one userscript https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48983857#48988887

You don't need to "turn off the bad features" because they are opt-in to begin with.

IIRC those are only 256 kbps. I get that MP3 is a lossy format, but still, they could at the very least offer 320 kbps. I was under the impression Amazon wasn't short on server space.

> $5/unlimited would be more reasonable

Hell, I'd even take $5/600. 300 is just ridiculously low. I like the service, mind you, but really can't justify paying $10/m (+ tax now) for it.

I should have jumped on the Neeva train when I had the chance. It was 50€/y. The results weren't as good as Kagi's, though. But anyway, Neeva's dead now.

You can install "Sink it for Reddit" to remove that obnoxious "pretty please install our app." banner. It also does other stuff to make their mobile website not as bad, but it still isn't a great experience.

Well, I don't mind it but I don't exactly like it either. It looks too agressive.

Man I haven't used Google in 10 years yet I still say I "Googled it." It's just a saying at this point, not an endorsement.

There's Google Play Pass.

If you're only searching for family-friendly stuff Kagi is pretty good (anything NSFW yields no result), but there's no way I'd be willing to pay that much money for a search engine.

$5/m for only 200 searches (reminder, 1 page = 1 search. So if you hit "page 2" you just burned yet another search from your quota) is insane. [1]

Love it or hate it but Neeva is also on the private search engine market, and you can get unlimited searches for 50€/y. I find their pricing way more reasonable.

They are indeed using Bing:

>However for some features, like searching for images, Brave Search will fetch results from Microsoft Bing.

Deezer have that option. When you're listening to something you don't like you can click on a little frowny face, then they will ask you if you want to never hear this song again or the artist. It's neat.

The crypto stuff in Brave is opt-in to begin with.

iPhone users can also block ads, and not just in Safari but in other apps, too. Just like an Android phone can.

Blokada should work fine. I personally use AdGuard Pro.

>The professor couldn’t understand how we did it, so gave a low mark.

That was genuinely upsetting to read.
