I've been using Altavista at that time, every now and then switching to Northern Light. Everything else was abysmal. Google blew them out of the water in terms of speed, quality, simplicity, unclutterdness and everything else. I can't remember ever retraining muscle memory so fast when switching to Google. So, no, Google has been great then and apart from people actively working against the algorithm is still good now, but obviously a completely different beast.
- remus 5y agoI think the parent's point was that people say Google 2005 >> Google 2021, but it's pretty hard to make this comparison in an objective way. No doubt Google 2005 was way better than other offerings around at the time.
