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

SearXNG. I will never understand why it doesn’t get used more. It is so easy to set up.

    are you aware of any instances that have lasted longer than a few months?

    I have it set up on my own home server. Before that, I had it set up on individual PCs. It's super easy. I guess you mean public instances. I've never used one because it is so easy to set up for yourself.
