MODERATORS
After recently noticing AI image results in practically every search I’ve made, I switched over to Duckduckgo as my default search engine. I realize this article isn’t about search results but Google seems to not understand that these practices are pushing users away
I've also switched to duckduckgo as my default search engine, but I do find myself falling back to google more often than I'd like because duckduckgo can't find what I'm searching for.
Any opinion on using startpage.com?
Not yet, but I’ll give it a go!
I think you get used to it, or you realise the google results nearly universally suck?
I’ve been using DDG for many years now, and have maybe used google intentionally 5 times in the last few years. Mainly for local things that DDG kinda sucks at.
The default and unchangeable search engine at work is google, and I find myself often re-searching for things in DDG that I’ve accidentally hit google for.
