Hardly ever. I switched everything to Bing some time ago. If I feel I’m missing something I try Yandex. I hear Brave is good, and Kagi and Neeva may be interesting newcomers.
Even if Google were on par with Bing (which I don’t find it is, but my interests may differ from the average HN case) I’d still want to see the company burn for its betrayal of its own mission, of the internet, and of humanity (I mean why not, while I’m being dramatic).
From “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”, to “to present a peep-hole sized view of the world, where said view best suits the values and interests of Google and its sponsors.”
I hate Google because I stumbled on it in 1998 and it was sheer magic, but now it’s 1997 again. They were a really, really good company and deserved all the success. Too good to survive becoming a public megacorp. It’s like how people are sadder when the bright young student full of promise and dreams falls into drugs and alcohol and ruin, than when it happens to the one who was always a delinquent since they were four.
