Sounds like Google wants to get out of the search engine business. Maybe we should help them. Try DuckDuckGo. Or SearX
https://searx.space/
DDG's results have been absolute garbage for me for the past few months. About half of the time I have to go to Google to get the results I actually need.
You're getting downvotes because we all want it to succeed... It hasn't been great for me.
I do use Yandex sometimes, especially if I'm searching for a torrent or streaming show or something since they don't seem to care about filtering pirated stuff. But in general the results seem better than DDG.
Yes I know it's Russian or whatever. Oh well.
Same. I've really wanted DDG to work, but it's a crapshoot. I set it as default on my phone with the intention of putting it on my laptop later after I finished a project for work, but phase 2 never happened because the results started to tank.
Just FYI, SearX is dead. Long live SearXNG
