I’ve used a number of those others, and at least via my personal scoring system, google flights is still by far the number one. Your link prioritizes very different things than I do, for example one of its top scoring sites has as a con that you can’t filter out 10+ hour layovers).

Airlines may think that makes for a viable plan, but we don't." Am I reading this wrong or does this indicate Frommer also prioritises avoiding long layovers. (I dislike the inclusion of the long layover options too but I have always thought the reason the sites include them is that they actually sell. I once met someone who took these long layover flights on popular routes that always have many shorter options, so I know such people exist.)
- yxhuvud 5y agoIf nothing else they need to exist due to rare destinations with few planes going to them, together with having to fly to those airports.
- londons_explore 5y agoOccasionally I am actually looking for the longest possible layover. Having a couple of days in another city along the route can actually be pretty cool - you get 2 holidays for the price of one, or a free holiday on the side of a work trip.
