Google is making its Search more centred around AI, turning it into a conversation.

Besides being a worse experience, the websites from which it sources its information are losing all traffic and recognition.

Recommend a list of alternatives:

  • Kagi - Paid but better experience than Google
  • Ecosia - Similar experience while supporting a good cause
  • Qwant - Increasingly unique results and building a EU-first index
  • DuckDuckGo - Privacy-focused search, but quality of results may vary

DuckDuckGo is clearly controlled opposition whether they realize it or not, kind of like Mozilla but for search engines.

    How's that?

    Last time I checked, Ecosia and DuckDuckGo both use the Microsoft Bing index, just one of them promises to plant trees if only if you click on ads

    Last I heard like 6 months ago microsoft stopped selling Bing api access to other compaines, so I think Ecosia is just google now
