Great, now Google gets fucked as well! Another win.

I don't think you understand, we are the ones who are getting fucked. Search results are getting worse and harder for you to find what you need with all the ads, fake news, sponsored sites, ai generated articles, etc.. Google doesn't care if you find high quality results, they will still gett traffic and their money because people won't just stop using it.

  1. Don't use Google.

  2. Learn how to search the internet, its not hard.

  3. Adblock is your friend.

  4. People will stop using it only when it becomes unbearable. Their own business tbh.

I’ve replaced probably 70% of my searching with ChatGPT.

[-] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Thats one hell of a bad idea.

What search engines you suggest? Duckduckgo is useless for me, but so is google nowadays tbh.

[-] Stijn@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

I like startpage. It's not perfect but works. If I still cant find anything I search google. 95% of the time it just works.

@Stijn @krevassi, Startpage is probably one of the best search engines, I used it among others as second of my list, but for first searches I use 2 AI search engines which show me direct answers to complex questions.

https://www.perplexity.ai
and sometimes also
https://you.com

All of these protect privacy and made by small independent startups
