I ask because I’ve been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and Google search has really let me down. I’ve been finding better results on DuckDuckGo and Bing. Is this a recent thing with Google or am I out of the loop? Any other search recommendations?
Edit: In no particular order, some recommended alternatives to Google
SearXNG
Whoogle
Ecosia
Brave
Dogpile
DuckDuckGo
Kagi
Swiss Cows
Qwant
Bing
I stopped using Google when I became more aware of privacy concerns.
Also first page is horrible, mostly sponsored/ads related links.
That second point is a good enough reason in itself. Like it almost doesn’t matter what I search for, everytime it’s just links to stores.
