#2Wiby.org is my homepage. I occasionally click "surprise me..." to view 90s style websites. I find them more interesting than scrolling though modern stuff.

#9I used to know of a search engine that supported a bunch of added functionality for searching some selected popular sites. Like "wp whatever" would search just Wikipedia. It supported many man little command shortcuts.
It was popular among dwm/i3 users, and I have forgotten it :(
I was a fan of MacOS performing searches with Command + Spacebar, so on Linux I scripted a similar popup-prompt that would open Firefox and feed my input to this search engine.

Search results are powered by Bing and its own index, so if you're not showing up you can just submit yourself
