    So what’s the best search engine these days? Duck Duck Go?

      DDG is my go-to, it’s normally good enough. Google used to be better at showing searches so I’d still go check out then if I couldn’t find something.

      But since their ad strategy changed to favour paid suppliers and their servers are getting switched to handle heavier computing, Google is starting to suck now. So honestly its probable that you’ll need to work harder to find what you’re looking for regardless of which engine you use.

      I use Startpage, which is mostly Google minus the ads and spying the way DDG is mostly Bing minus the ads and spying.

      I’ve been pretty satisfied with Kagi. Not free though.

        Really love Kagi. Given how good the search results have been for me, I’m happy to continue paying.
