    I’m surprised that someone that would use Anna’s Archive, would use Google as their search engine.

      If I want to find a pdf, whether it be a book, comic or research paper, I use Yandex - Google has been unusable in that way for a long time now.

      I’ve seen a lot of very tech savvy people still using google and chrome to this day. It’s the top search engine. The majority of people use it, including pirates.

        Sometimes I’m just lazy. Don’t use chrome but google as a search engine since it’s the default and sometimes I can’t be bothered to change it.

      I usually use ddg but sometimes it can’t find things in non-English languages whereas google has the results I’m looking for.

      They probably don’t, tbh. Question is if this will even affect the traffic in any way.

      Or use a search engine to access it in general. Anna’s Archive itself is a search engine, it’s better to just bookmark it and search for stuff directly from there.

              It’s been communal tradition ever since ThePirateBay got into these “DNS wars” and “Domain switching”. In the end, TPB kind of faded out. But same practice goes for many pirate sites. That’s the point :) so, be aware it’s a great way to find URLs for these o7

          Is stable for me for a long time already. Maybe you need to switch DNS, as some ISPs have a DNS block. But one should switch DNS regardless.
