This is a good change as it may expand to more sites. I'm one of those users that used reddit in query often looking for opinions or reviews. We should get Lemmy on the list.

I've been using qwant for a couple years now without any issue. It mainly uses Bing as a backend.

Why do they call stuff "Googling" as it was a real word, if Google is failing at being a search engine?

If Google makes changes that stop people from clicking through to reddit due to the protests then the protests will have likely done more lasting damage than anyone imagined.

Users weren't happy with the search results before the blackout either, and "quite" has no part in it. Google traded quality results for revenue over a decade ago... right about the time they changed their Don't Be Evil motto.
