Ecosia.org is a good search engine, right now they still use google/bing for most of their queries but are developing their own search engine. Plus they are very ethical, green energy, profits go to projects helping nature, option to turn off AI results/summaries, the list goes on…
Who tf ever says “google is the best”? Most chrome users are “I just want my shit to work and move on with my day” type.
Tech bros maybe? Or people that work at Alphabet/Google?
WTF is this order?
Order 66
It’s a 2x2 grid of vertical 2-panel comics. Could be made clearer by dividing them with thicker lines.
Or just having them left to right like a sane person. (Or… I guess you could be from Japan or some other country where you write top to bottom… But it’s in English!)
Clearly. The questions is… WTF?
It’s the 4-in-1 special
Haha yeah it’s like having a stroke 😅 I just found it online
Not the old logo… </3
Qwant it is.
I love the idea of duckduckgo but man the results suck
Starpage, Qwant, and Brave search are all out there, just waiting for you.
Ddg results are so good. I dont get the hate on them. I try to go back to Google and the results are unusable.
DDg for me is annoying because it isn’t localised when I search something.
That’s my own fault though for not sharing my location.
I use it for everything
Ddg has a dropdown for your country

I specifically add my location to the search when im looking for local stuff otherwise I want international results. So on google I’d search bottle store but on ddg I search bottle store auckland [suburb] because it doesnt know where i am. Or I use the !maps bang to search on google maps.
Really? For some reason, I really prefer DDG’s results over Google’s. Too much SEO spam for Google now (especially with AI).
DDG has this Reddit+ stack overflow thing that I quite like!
For generic factual stuff, I default to wikipedia. For opinions, it tends to be Reddit/Lemmy. If I have questions that are more of “tell me why my understanding of XYZ is wrong”, then LLMs (the big ones) tend to be quite useful (yeah yeah, hate on me for this as much as you want).
Just try ducai
It’s extra funny because DDG is (mostly) Bing.
Its come along way since being mostly bing
Oh, so it’s great at porn then
I haven’t had much problems with it? Can’t really remember the last time I felt the need to try a different backup search engine. And, usually, if I did, I wouldn’t find what I was looking for there, either.
Yeah I didn’t like DDG either. Kagi is worth the price to have a better google-free experience,
Duck duck go is made a LOT better if you specify a date range before SEO became as stupid as it did. AIslop just made the seo bullshit articles/pages go from bad to fubar.
It’s Google ten years ago, which was already shit. They need to go further back on the timeline.
I caved and switched when Google started giving me a full large chat window (not even just a small AI overview) by default when I ran a search.
If you dont want any ai switch over to noai.duckduckgo.com took me to long to see that it exsists.
I meant even I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo. DDG asks you about whether and how often you want AI answers
And they show ads too.
Sadly, this is my experience too
Brave search over ddg
Brave owns an ad company. I trust them as much as I trust Google.
Sure but duck duck go is bing with a proxy and has been known in the past to make acceptions for microsoft
Brave search is a fully independed search engine
At the if the day both services are closed source software from for profit companies
Librewolf + Kagi. I’ve looked at SearXNG but the Kagi search results ‘just work’ and let’s me tweak it how I want, so I haven’t felt motivated to bother with the deployment.
self host use VPN etc
I found Degoog to be easier to deploy for my non-technical skills. A docker container and I was done.
This is accurately accurate.
The most accurate kind of accuracy.
You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
Bing is still the best search engine for porn
Almost too good, I find.
I tend to have safe search off, because I’m a grown up. But it can be kind of annoying to search for a completely innocuous term, only for the image results to somehow be rammed full of people getting rammed full.
Can a scientist plz confirm?
Hello. I beat my meat like an unruly son. Bing is still the king of porn results.
and DDG by proxy
Low and mid have the browser above the search engine, high breaks consistency with the engine over the browser 😔
