    Does Wikipedia count? Then Wikipedia.

      FYI wikipedia is not perfect either. It has many same issues as YT/Google/etc.

      I agree with Mr. Sanger https://nypost.com/2021/07/16/wikipedia-co-founder-says-site-is-now-propaganda-for-left-leaning-establishment/

        He complains that “only one version of the facts is allowed”… So he wants lies to be allowed? 🙄

        I can’t agree with someone who doesn’t understand how facts work.

    Lame answer but YouTube. Channels in the vein of freecodecamp.org and Stanford Online are incredible. Any skill, hobby, repair, or question I can think of probably has videos there.

    I use youtube because most educational content is available en masse there for free.

    It would be great to see more on Odysee.

      Agree. I like Watch on Odysee plugin it will redirect you to odysee if the content also exists there

      Those are the two cornerstones of modern web. However, recently Bing got an LLM upgrade, so that tool is beginning to compete with those two. Learning stuff by asking questions seems to be working really well for me.

        Mhm, I do this too! It really helps in finding answers to very specific questions

          The trick is to probe the same question from several different angles. Occasionally you’ll find that the first answer wasn’t correct, but you’ll eventually get to the right answer if you keep on poking around.

    I know you asked for one, but I’m going to list a whole bunch of websites that I use/used during school. Bolded are my favorites from each category.

    General Websites

    https://www.youtube.com/

    https://www.wikipedia.org/

    https://www.khanacademy.org/

    https://openstax.org/

    Math/Science

    http://www.foundalis.com/lan/hw/grkhandw.htm Gives instructions on how to write Greek letters. Idk if this is useful for anyone else, but for some reason I have a hard time writing some Greek letters without this.

    http://tug.ctan.org/info/undergradmath/undergradmath.pdf LaTeX math symbols

    LaTeX online editor. I use this when my LaTeX isn’t working, or if I’m using a new operators I haven’t used before

    https://guides.nyu.edu/LaTeX/creating-document Guide by NYU for creating LaTeX documents

    https://math.berkeley.edu/~ehallman/math1B/ Worksheet/Quizzes from a UC Berkeley calc 2 class

    Paul’s Online Notes. This link is specifically for calc 2, but he has notes from algebra all the way to diff eq.

    https://www.youtube.com/@patrickjmt/featured Great channel for math

    https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessorLeonard Another great channel for math. He’s a professor who uploads his lectures from pre-calc up to diff eq I believe. Videos are long, but well worth it. He’s the one of only reasons why I passed calc 1 and why (fingers crossed) I’ll pass calc 2 this summer.

    https://www.youtube.com/@TheOrganicChemistryTutor Great channel for math, chemistry, and physics. I use him more for examples rather than learning.

    https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/periodic-table/ Periodic table from PubChem. This is also a stand in for the websites of PubChem and PubHealth

    French

    I’m learning French currently and I have a few resources other than YouTube that is helpful

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/French This is the French IPA. Very useful to learn

    https://www.ipachart.com/ How various IPA letters sounds like, not specific to French. They don’t have all of the French letters, but useful regardless

    phraseFantasic Resource for French language learning. Lots of info on here and while specific for French, can be useful for getting ideas on what/how to learn for other languages

    https://www.laits.utexas.edu/tex/gr/index.html French grammar from the University of Texas

    https://www.wordreference.com/ French-English dictionary (not only has more languages than just French and English). Gives context, has conjugations, and has a forum so if your specific usage of the word isn’t in the dictionary, you can ask/search the forum.

    deepl.com Translator

    That’s it! There are some websites/extensions that I use for school that I didn’t mention here because it’s too specific, but here is (mostly) everything that I use regularly during high school and college
