Tritiy, glad you like Swurl. Swurl isn't on Github, it isn't open source. But it is mostly JS, you can just view source to take a look.

Just added Dark Mode, take a look and let me know if that is better for you https://swurl.com/

I just updated the style of the circle buttons, I hope it feels better for everyone now

I just added a setting to disable "Open in a new tab". Disable it from the drop down menu on the right of the search input, and let me know if that works well for you now?

Cool, yes just added it today! Thank you for voting it up.

For dark mode, are you wanting it automatic based on detection, or a setting?

Ok I checked it out more. It is getting blocked due to tracking protection. So for Twitter and Instagram, the only way to integrate it well and easily is with embeds/widgets. It is iframed in with some JS code.

So really there isn't a way to fix it and make it work unless you don't use private mode in FF or unblock it.

But if you don't want to do that, I did add a way to disable Twitter and Instagram from the top right menu dropdown. Try it out and let me know if that solves your problem well.

That is a good point, I'll be thinking about this problem... let me know if you have any good ideas how to improve that without hurting infinite scroll. Right now I think I need to leave it for infinite scroll right, else if you click back you would lose your place.

Great, thank you for the confirmation!

I did just add Bing which is basically the same as DDG, you can switch to it from the menu on the top right to enable Bing instead of Google. Please try it out and let me know if that helps you.

Based on your feedback I've tried removing the horizontal scrollbar, but keeping the functionality. The scrollbar was a bit distracting and duplicative of the top buttons. Thank you!

Thank you. That is super big. I did push Wikipedia to be more in front when it is relevant. Also I did increase the column width a good amount yesterday after everyone's feedback. I tried widening it even more, but then the images felt too big and less columns are shown. I think it is a pretty good balance right now. Please try it out more now and let me know if you get used to it.

No keyboard shortcuts right now, but thinking about adding them. What keyboard keys would you like to use for that?

Will be adding dark! You can turn off Instagram and Twitter from the menu on the top right.

Ok I added that. Please try it now and let me know if that works better for you now.

We have <meta name="referrer" content="origin"> in the header. So the search terms are not broadcast. I mean it is a bunch of tradeoffs. We lean more towards speed and low costs. DDG for example may be even more private, but it is slower and needs a bunch of ads to pay for the higher server costs.

Generally Swurl is super private compared to visiting 99% of all other websites out there. But please let me know if there is anything you think I should add/change to make it more private for you, without hurting speed and costs.

That is great insight. Yes auto based on data is usually what works for most. I get that the crowd here would like manual... will need to consider that. The more regular users Swurl gets, the better we can figure out the needs.

wonderful you are going to try to use Swurl regularly. I am happy it looks good for you!

Lol, I feel like people enjoy content overload or can handle more content at once now. After youtube/tiktok/instagram.

Let me know if there are specific sources you would like added. I am compiling a list of new ones to add.

Sorry not right now. What source would you want to add?

Sorry ya we need 3rd party domains at least for images so the costs are not crazy with caching/proxying. Maybe just turn it off just for Swurl?

Sorry, for this it needs javascript. We are using JSON APIs, it helps make it faster. I wish we could support this, but it is just too hard vs speed or costs :(

Are you on android? I just fixed something which might improve this for you.

Thank you for letting me know about the back to top! I was able to reproduce it and fix the problem. Please try it again now and let me know if it works well for you now.

I made the columns a bit wider than before. I tried even wider, but when I did, it there is a line where it is too wide, especially on desktop. Where seeing more columns is better, or seeing more of a hint/peek is better. Please try using it some more regularly and let me know if you get use to it, or not :)
