What search engines you suggest? Duckduckgo is useless for me, but so is google nowadays tbh.
I’ve been trying: https://metager.org/ and https://www.ecosia.org/
Try Searx. It is a free, open source metasearch engine so it gets results from other engines. Albeit much more privately than accessing those services directly.

I like startpage. It’s not perfect but works. If I still cant find anything I search google. 95% of the time it just works.
@Stijn @krevassi, Startpage is probably one of the best search engines, I used it among others as second of my list, but for first searches I use 2 AI search engines which show me direct answers to complex questions.
https://andisearch.com
https://www.perplexity.ai
and sometimes also
https://you.com
All of these protect privacy and made by small independent startups
Thanks! That looks interesting!
AI search seems like something to dip my toes into. Thanks for the tips.
@krevassi @IcyPractice @CookieJarObserver @DeriHunter @Stijn, anyway, don’t confuse AI search with AI chats, like ChatGPT, because these have a maybe better Language model, but it’s knowledge base is limited (the one of ChatGPT is from 2021), they don’t search in the web. Because of this the answers are not reliable or at least outdated.
@CatWeazle Tried out andi and it is excellent, looked for jobs in my area and it gave me a list of links, all relevant. Also you have an option to only read the linked articles, no need to visit the page so you can bypass gdpr-bs and advertisement. That’s going to be bookmarked permanently.
