Hi,
While I cannot speak to the recommendations, I want to add or suggest an
alternative approach.
When I actually search from my DOS desktop, I simply use the dos build of
Links with its slight JavaScript abilities.
Would not it be a broader solution to encourage, and where the talent
allows, continue making sure this DOS port of links is available?
Speaking personally, I find no issues reaching https sites with the tool.
Although i believe the JavaScript effort was discontinued after the
addition I currently use?

Hi! While reading on The Register about search enshittification by AI,
I noticed a link to a HTTP (not HTTPS) non-Javascript search website:
http://frogfind.com/
Sounds like a good thing for DOS users :-)
Regarding the AI trouble, the article recommended:
https://www.google.com/search?q=YOUR+SEARCH+TERMS&udm=14&tbs=li:1
(non-AI, literal/verbatim search)
https://udm14.com/ which is a wrapper to add udm=14 and call Google
https://tenbluelinks.org/ which has a plugin for the same purpose.
They also mention https://openwebengine.com/ - no idea about that?
Regards, Eric
