The 2x part will never happen in November but who cares? Bigblockers have finally there BCash coin with no Segwit+8mb blocks...thats what they wanted, right?

What they want is control. Block sizes are irrelevant Cool

And that is exactly what makes me afraid of a 'core' implementation. Multiple implementations needs to be highly encouraged. Software has bugs, at least with multiple implementations you mitigate that risk.

IMHO the core team is making a big mistake by making their implementation incompatible with the 2X part of the NYA. It makes me sick how /r/bitcoin is currently involuntarily displaying a very narrowed view on the matter. I care about Bitcoin and the freedom it provides and don't need anyone to tell what is best, just code and stfu.

I tried DuckDuckGo a while back - is startpage better?

Yes, since it simply uses the google results but not linked to your IP / identity. You can scroll down a bit on the main website for details.
(I would advise to create a personal link in the settings to for example only use EU servers, search suggestions etc)
