Here I was in my own little bubble appearently, thinking people were using https://kagi.com to search now that it exists, but a comment I got made me realize that’s probably not the case…
You really should try this search engine. I switched to it 6 months ago and before that I was using duckduckgo, and often had to throw a !g in there to get proper results.
I remember setting it as default as a test and then I just forgot about Google. :)
It’s not free however, you will have to pay a few bucks for it. But to me it’s about supporting alternatives to Google which I very happily do. It’s only a few bucks.
Have you tried it and what was your experience?
That sounds interesting, I’ll have to check that out.
If you’re looking for another search engine, I will always offer Ecosia as another. It essentially uses a Bing engine but uses the ad revenue to plant actual living trees around the world. They document their progress and release their financial statements.
I’ll use Ecosia for things that are not really private and then Brave for everything else.
I use ecosia as my default search engine within the brave browser. I make sure I still see ecosia’s ads, and click on them when they’re relevant to what I’m searching for.
