Search?

 Where are people going for online search now that Google has utterly succumbed to enshittification?

I switched so my browser's default search engine is duckduckgo years ago. No ads is ideal for me. Occasionally I poke about at different engines if I am searching for something specifically that I couldn't find that way, but it mostly works just fine.

duckduckgo? It's not perfect, but it's less shittified than the alternative.

I’ve been using Duck Duck Go, but because that one is an aggregator it does tend to be influenced by the the SEO nonsense that pushes terrible “let us sell you crap” sites to the top in Google/Bing/etc. So I supplement with Qwant, which I believe builds its own index and is less susceptible.

Duckduckgo. I switched to it when I started using Firefox exclusively.
