I just tried the same search ("hike yosemite") on my mobile with DuckDuckGo.
The results are very revealing. Firstly the DDG format has less space allocated to the logo, more entries visible on the screen, no ads nor dark patterns.
Secondly the results are far better (for me). They start with the same National Park Services result, but the next is a non-commercial labour of love (yosmemitehikes.com) which seems excellent, and the third the the Yosemite Mariposa County Tourism Bureau site. None of these are commercial sites with pop-ups/Hubspot requests and so on. It's just a better internet experience overall.
Google obviously puts us all into our own bubble, so your own results may differ.
- skinnymuch 7y agoThat’s just one example though. I think it would be hard to say Google results are not at least equal if not better normally. This coming from someone who uses Google for search maybe 2% of the time for the past ~7-8 years and Bing the rest of the time.
