I fucking bing'd something the other day to get a better search result. What the fuck google.
Try Kagi. Paid search engines are the future in order to extract yourself from the enshittification of "free" search engines.
If your goal is to get away from this AI shit show, Kagi might not be the answer, according to their own blog.
I will search for a very interesting article you should read, before deciding to give kagi any money.
Edit: found it
I read that stuff a few weeks ago. And the responses and discussion on Kagi's Discord. I'll continue to monitor Kagi's behavior, of course, but for now I prefer Kagi. I get far more relevant results with no advertising noise and as much or as little "AI" assistance as I want.
Google is a cesspool and DDG is simply inferior - worthy, but inferior.
Using Kagi is not a bad decision. After reading a lot of positive things about it and beeing quite hyped, I was so ungently reminded, that every good thing comes with its own baggage of bad.
I thought I share it, so that everyone can make their own decision.
I also tried Metager, a german meta search engine. Sad to report: not usable for me, although I like their club (suma-ev) and donated some money towards them.
For now it's DDG I guess. :-(
