Deleted it in my config. I'm solely relying on DuckDuckGo.
- lucideer 11mo ago> I'm solely relying on DuckDuckGo I've been fully on DDG for years but becoming slowly skeptical & looking for alternatives. 1. They're leaning heavily into "responsible AI", much like Mozilla 2. Might be just me but I feel like their algorithm became significantly worse recently. Over the years they've gone from being worse than Google in the early days to steadily improving & overtaking Google on quality (I made heavy use of !g until I started slowly realising it was no longer giving me better results). But now I feel like they've reversed & regressed again.
- mikae1 11mo agohttps://startpage.com https://startpage.com is a Google proxy instead of a Bing proxy (like DDG).
- arcanemachiner 11mo agoPretty sure startpage sold out years ago...
- frm88 11mo agoFor now you can still try noai.duckduckgo.com - not sure it will stay, but it still works.
- lucideer 11mo agoThis is great to avoid ai but doesn't solve the index quality decline. (though it might be a case of there simply being no good search anymore)
