I find myself using duckduckgo and kagi more and more. All search engines suck, honestly, but the not-Google choices maybe suck a little less. Google results have gotten horrible, it’s so obvious it’s just serving up sponsored ad links, not actual information. I mean, that’s been the case for a long time but they’ve really dialed up the suck.
I miss the days when it was rare to need to goto the second page. Now you have to in order to get passed the all the shite. Even ignoring the sponsored shit Google wants to sell me the thing I’m trying to get a review of on the firs and second page
Isn’t DDG just Bing? I know when sites are banned on Bing, they don’t appear there either. Felt it was the same search…
Perhaps Bing with privacy?
I think so, yeah.
It’s that extra crap that kills it for me.
I have all the add-ins, extensions, etc so my experience is fine (and I also just use DuckDuckGo). But I tried searching for something on my parent’s computer with Google… it was like the early 00s with all the crap before the actual results.
I immediately switched their default, but I could not believe it. Like why would you do that to your own site?
What extensions will make my experience Better? I still Google but I don’t wanna use it anymore
honestly… duckduckgo.com
you will still get most of the top results, but without all the nonsense.
Their browser is a bit shady and how it shares info with Microsoft / Bing but their search engine is solid.
Stupid name, good search results.
