Im getting so sick and tired of Google rn. Reddit has become a better place to search for questions than Google has. I need a new search engine :(
No, I don’t want Kagi either, I dont wanna to pay a subscription for a search engine just to get what I want. I tried all the others, Ecosia, Duckduckgo, etc… But they usually fall flat cus they just don’t have some of the quirks that Google has that I like, specifically when it comes to image search.
I want a browser I can easily adjust to, which is why I want it to function/look like google. Yes, I did try searching for it, but I’m not getting anything reliable (how typical)
Also, if anyone can recommend me a browser better than Opera GX that’s JUST as customizable as GX is, that’d be great too.
*Please don’t bully me over using GX. Everyone keeps yapping about it being Chinese Spyware or something or other, but the level of customization I can do with it is a total godsend. I don’t know any other browsers that let me have interactive wallpapers or keyboard sounds, let alone the silly screen filters! I like having complete personalization over my stuff, its fun for me.
ok, after using DDG for 3-4 weeks, its come to my attention that this search engine is kinda fucking annoying to use ;m;
First thing, it doesn’t correct the misspellings for me like google does, I have to fix them myself. idrk if theres a fix for that
second thing, it is now ALSO giving me heavily unrelated shit to what im trying to search. Im trynna look up things like “How to make Kava taste good” and its giving me articles on just what Kava is. or I’m looking up, “Why do all the good people die first and bad people live on” and its giving me articles on what personality traits live the longest. It’s some how WORSE than google, cus now I have to do even more tweaking in my searches just to get it to fucking stop, it wouldnt even tell me if the word “Am” is a Pronoun or not, I had to scroll through a bunch of unrelated shit before giving up and using google. What the fuck :(
Thirdly, there is no third complaint really- im just getting really really sick and tired of DDG giving me random/unrelated shit. maybe im not doin something right, idk, but its frustrating as fuck.
do you mean it doesn’t correct your misspellings as you type or it doesn’t correct your search terms?
mine corrects my search terms if i type colude instead of collude or something,
" is am a pronoun" gives me “am is not a pronoun”.
there are a few results under that mentioning that “am” should be used with pronouns, heavily implying that it isn’t a pronoun itself.
that’s a tricky search because “am” is such a small and common word, I get more direct results (after the direct answer from duckassist) If I put quotes around am, like
is “am” a pronoun?
sorry it didn’t work out for you, are you trying other browsers or reverting to the googs?
