It’s a story from April, I tried seeing if it was posted before, however it’s the story about how the advertising and finance team beat the search team into submission by ousting the core person protecting it to pursue “growth” and “revenue” at all costs.
I’ve tried to use DDG for a few weeks now, and I find it gets worse the more specific I search.
For general things, it’s fine. But if I’m looking for an installation tutorial for a certain kind of plumbing hardware, it struggles to show me anything but brand and retail pages.
I started using Kagi. Yeah, I have to pay for it. But we’re paying for Google too, kagi is just more honest about how.
Can I use kagi as a default search for my browser?
I’m trying to use Firefox on desktop and mobile more.
Here you go: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/getting-started/setting-default.html
Yep!
I use it on FF mobile and desktop all the time, for the last 6 months or so. It is great.
They have a browser plug-in. I use it on Firefox on my desktop and on my Android phone. My uses it on Chrome on both as well.
On Firefox I think you have to right click on the address bar while the website is open to register a new search engine?
You could try a SearXNG someone hosted, it’s FOSS and not worse than Google :)
