> I'm solely relying on DuckDuckGo
I've been fully on DDG for years but becoming slowly skeptical & looking for alternatives.
1. They're leaning heavily into "responsible AI", much like Mozilla
2. Might be just me but I feel like their algorithm became significantly worse recently. Over the years they've gone from being worse than Google in the early days to steadily improving & overtaking Google on quality (I made heavy use of !g until I started slowly realising it was no longer giving me better results). But now I feel like they've reversed & regressed again.
- mikae1 1y agohttps://startpage.com https://startpage.com is a Google proxy instead of a Bing proxy (like DDG).
- arcanemachiner 1y agoPretty sure startpage sold out years ago...
- frm88 1y agoFor now you can still try noai.duckduckgo.com - not sure it will stay, but it still works.
- lucideer 1y agoThis is great to avoid ai but doesn't solve the index quality decline. (though it might be a case of there simply being no good search anymore)
