The Next Google
A lot of the snooping does have an actual role with search - they need to guess the intended domain of the query [1]
Welcome to my side project, a better organized directory of domain specific search engines, based on duckduckgo !bang operators https://github.com/MoserMichael/duckduckbang/blob/master/REA...
Ideally this directory/thesaurus should help you to find a domain specific search engine, without the need of snooping on the part of the search engine. I also auto translated this directory into several languages.
[1] of course they also need the snooping for targeted advertising, but that's a different story!)

Doctors often turn to Google Translate to talk to patients; want a better option
I have a catalog of duckduckgo !bang operators; a script is using google translate to translate the UI and site descriptions into several languages; it is better than nothing, but it is not an ideal solution.

I didn't manage to automate the use of DeepL in python;

Show HN: Improved index of DuckDuckGo bang operators
I think that specialised search engines are gaining ground, it has become easier to set one up, thanks to elasticsearch/lucene. They can be quite good, for a limited domain, and they don't have to invade your privacy in order to find out what you are looking for. I think that what is missing are tools like this, that would aid the discovery and use of these search engines. I hope that this will allow them to eat into the market from the 'low end'.
The projects source is here: https://github.com/mosermichael/duckduckbang
Unfortunately they don't invest too much into !bang operators at duckduckgo, however that's my input data...

Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
taking care of google ;-) I have a catalog of duckduckgo !bang operators https://mosermichael.github.io/duckduckbang/html/main.html - i hope that it allows for better discoverability of specialized search engines. The latest feature added is a description for each search engine, just hover over the name, and you get a description derived from the sites meta and title tags.

3 YEARS On My Side Project!
I've learned so much while making this project into my personal website (dustinbrett.com). It's made me a much better web developer as I have tried to emulate a desktop environment with pixel perfect accuracy using CSS, HTML & JavaScript.

Unpopular Opinion: Desktop GUI is the most efficient and fulfilling way of Human-Computer Interaction
As someone who built a website around this idea, I agree! The desktop metaphor is powerful. If anyone wants to check it out it's at https://dustinbrett.com

Show HN: ExaequOS, a new OS running in a web browser
Very cool! It's always refreshing to see the "OS in the browser" projects that try and actually make something functional. I've been working on one myself for nearly 3 years now, called daedalOS (https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS).
The WASM kernel idea is very cool and I hope one day to be able to add something similar to my project. I think you are onto something and I am excited to see your progress as you implement the GUI.

Os.js – open-source JavaScript web desktop platform with a window manager
If you want some Browserception, my desktop environment (https://dustinbrett.com/) can indeed do this. But after a few levels in Chromium you need to add a random query string (/?a=1) to the URL otherwise it stops working.
