By all means, feel free to use any other search engine that you feel is better than Google. Or better yet, wow us with the better engine that you can build.

- antonvs 4y agoIt’s almost as if you didn’t even make it to the second sentence of my comment. Maybe take another stab at it? You’re really going to enjoy the third sentence.
- nostrademons 4y agoFWIW my default browser is Brave, and Brave's default search engine is Brave Search. I almost switched back to Safari because the Brave Search results were so much worse than Google. Eventually found that you can set the default search engine in Brave - there's Brave, Google, DDG, Qwant, Bing, StartPage, and Ecosia available. I'd highly recommend this exercise for everyone who complains that there's no competition for Google, because a.) you're actually trying the competition and b.) you might realize how much Google does for you, and how far ahead they are against the competition. Who knows, you might even find a better search engine, and then next time you can come make recommendations for other HNers.

- Amezarak 4y agoGoogle used to be much better. If I could use the old Google, I would. I really do want content beyond the top 500 websites, and sometimes it was on page two. Now it’s not there at all. Most daily usage now I use Bing for the rewards points, and it’s approximately as good as current Google. Never have I failed to find something with Bing I then found with Google, despite it being a regular occurrence.
- Razengan 4y agoWow, I had strong suspicions Google was dicks (because of too much anti-user BS in their products) but here is proof!
