A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Do people still use Google search? Maybe I don't get out much, but idk anyone that uses Google search.
What do folks in your circle use? I'm the only person I know IRL who sometimes doesn't use Google.
I mainly use Searx, MetaGer, and DDG. Most of the people I know are not fans of Google. I'm a little more privacy conscious than most of my friends, though. Most of them have FB and IG accounts. I don't post anything on social media unless it's as anonymous as it can be.
Google literally has more than 90% ofthre global marketshare https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share
That site won't open. How are they measuring the usage, since the privacy conscious search engines don't track people?
