Comment

Comment on Is it just me or does it seem Google is either AI filled or becoming obsolete? Is there an up and comer that can be what Google used to be? Or are we stuck oogling stuff forever?

noai.duckduckgo.com is the best drop-in replacement for a free pre-AI search engine.

kagi.com is great if you can justify paying for it.

I’ve used both for a long time and have never missed Google, especially in its current state.

If you aren’t paying for it, you’re the product being sold.

  That’s not always true, point in case is open source software, but it’s good to look into where a company gets its profit from if any.
  
  Well good news, DuckDuckGo has been profitable with privacy respecting ads for a long time, now.

I use kagi for free but my dad is addicted to google so I might see if he likes it…

Honestly he’s in the demographic that might prefer the ai slop :/
