Honestly nothing is good anymore. Every search engine brings up the same SEO optimized dogshit articles. I sometimes use Arc browser but that’s not really that different than asking ChatGPT.
It’s so obnoxious. I hate researching a topic only to be fed results leading to useless AI spam. The entire thing is clogged up like this. Searching on the internet absolutely sucks, now.
Yeah. Really sucks how you need to know what you're looking for in order to get any use out of a search engine these days.
For example, if you want to find a "free online video chatroom", you're not going to find it by typing those words into google. You need to know, specifically, that there is a free chatroom called https://stumblechat.com/ and type that into google in order to see it.
The world is fucked.
I've read good things about kagi but haven't tried it yet.
Recently I don't feel that way after using Kagi. Sure, there's still some junk, but somehow I'm finding what I'm looking for a lot easier. That search in forums toggle is magical.
