@gamingonlinux I use DuckDuckGo a lot. It's very good and never tracks.

@gamingonlinux Yeah, and a lot of that stuff is now generating content with chatgpt or some other LLM -.-

@gamingonlinux im using ddg because of this

@gamingonlinux Agreed

@gamingonlinux Reddit and YouTube are only good search engines :blobcatgoogly:

/s

@gamingonlinux I have to put Reddit at the end of every one of my searches to find information I actual want. So annoying.

@gamingonlinux
I'd apply that to basically every search engine except Wiby and Ahmia, both of which are too niche anyways. Perhaps we need to return to link directories?

@gamingonlinux Try @Qwant

@gamingonlinux it's impossible sometimes to find a real result, at least on the first page.

@gamingonlinux
I also feel like they are not respecting query operators? Like wrapping in quotes, negation, and/or, just don't work for me anymore it seems.

@gamingonlinux I usually have to search something 2-3 times. Once on google, once on bing, and then sometimes on yandex/ecosia/startpage etc

@gamingonlinux
What? You don't like filtering out 5 useless paragraphs to get to the one with actual information, only to find out it is just and ad with an affiliate link?

@gamingonlinux I use Ecosia, it at least plants a tree for every 10 searches.

@gamingonlinux Startpage, SearX, LibreX, Whoogle and Swisscow better anyway

@gamingonlinux
Been using ddg for a long time now. Recently tried google. I can't think how they still are having such a huge lead in search. Competition caught up to an great extended.
