Hi, do you have a minute? I would like to talk about https://kagi.com as the solution to all your problems.
Google will always try to squeeze more and more ads into your life, just like Microsoft and all the other big tech shitfarms.
While Kagi uses some Google search results, they are avoiding most of the SEO crap you get in Google while also giving you the option to completely remove or prioritize whatever sites you want in the search results.
It really makes the web feel very fresh again because you discover sites you never see on Google or Bing.
People have always been saying duckduckgo is bad or worse than google but it's always worked fine for me, and still does.
same. haven't had to 'google' on google in years.
