  The idea is to build skills navigating the internet to find information instead of taking whatever the AI suggestion throws at you. So, whatever accomplishes that.

  i suggest not using google because its a privacy nightmare.
  Alternatives are DuckDuckGo which is not entirely trustworthy because it uses Bing under the hood, same with ecosia.

  Startpake got recently kicked out of the default search engines for waterfox for a reason maybe privacy related? That one has google under the hood.

  Now the ones i can reccomend:
  searxng (if you have the ressources, its selfhost)
  Qwant (no AI stuff, funded by the french for the french, free to use by all but the default in french shools and recently the european parliament in an effort to ditch google)

  I know that there are more options but i forgor...

    Qwant actually has AI overview features, but they made it optional, giving you the option to deactivate the AI features.

      its basically bing with less ads and planting trees with part of the profit. You can test it out a bit and then test another or keep it. Search hopping is easy
