So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.

I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).

I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

How long has Google been this bad?

Thanks for sharing - didnt know. Thats a long list ..... So which search engine is good and privacy friendly then?

[-] Alk@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

It depends on what you're trying to be private from. Kagi has been good to me so far, my goal is mainly to escape from corporate/ad profile tracking.

Kagi is great. Excellent search results for the most part, better than either DDG or Google in my experience.
