I've been wary of Google for a while now, and this is further proof my wariness is justified. However, one thing I can't seem to kick is using Google search as a fallback.
I use DuckDuckGo or Brave search for most of my searches, but half the time I have to add "!g" to the search to switch to Google to get actually useful results. Does anyone have any tips or tricks (or search engines I'm unfamiliar with) so I can break free? I know Bing is technically an option, but I'm under the impression it's not much better than Google (privacy wise) and their AI integration is off-putting.
- buzzy_hacker 3y agoI use DDG and never feel the need to add !g, but if you do, try using !sp instead. Startpage takes Google’s results and proxies them.
- TheCleric 3y ago> try using !sp instead. Startpage takes Google’s results and proxies them Ahh, this is an EXCELLENT tip.
- monetus 3y agoBesides DDG, I find myself using phind.com if you haven't seen that yet.

- unknownsky 3y agoI use Kagi and I only find myself switching to Google if I'm looking for local, up-to-the-minute information. Kagi maps is barely useful at all compared to Google Maps, at least at time of writing.
