It might protect you from a lot of Google's shit show but it won't show you good results too.

Kagi is the only usable search engine for me right now. Yes, it's not free. I needed a whole year to convince myself to pay for searching but I finally did it and it is absolutely worth it. I'm a SE though, so searching stuff is like half my job.

I'm with you. At first I thought it was getting shilled, but the search results are great. I also bought a 12 month subscription to Nebula. I'm giving these services a go and see if they can replace all the enshitified services.

Talks about some search engine no one has heard of before that sounds Chinese or something

Yeah, nyah I think I'll stick with DuckDuckGo, which has never failed to find me what I was searching for if it exists on the Internet, and oh by the way costs me nothing to use.

[–] QuizzaciousOtter@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Well, sure. If it works for you then by all means keep using it.

I'm just recommending a service which I find very useful. I actually first heard about it on Lemmy and I'm grateful for the recommendation so I spread the word in hope of helping someone else.

I thought everyone was overreacting until I used Google on the computers at my college and I realised that DDG had been insulating me from all that horror. Thank goodness I switched when I did.
