Thread 105715553

Since Google has become such crap for searching, what are real non-meme alternatives to it?

>>105715553 (OP)
i use search.brave.com, the results are shit but are fine 90% of the time (0% of the time for image search). it comes with buttons to redirect to bing or google

I use startpage which is basically just jewgle so I wouldn't mind some alternatives myself

>>105715553 (OP)
Startpage or Yandex depending what you want, and if you're low opsec (you arex since you were using Google in the first place). The former for general queries, the latter for anything /pol/itical or otherwise controversial.

>>105715568
same

>>105715553 (OP)
There's Kagi search but you need to pay 10 burger shekels per month. Don't know anyone who uses it, though.

>>105715568
he said non-meme alternatives

>>105715587
>Yandex
kgb shit
>>105715611
>pay 10 burger shekels per month
I don't create accounts and don't give out my search history.

>>105715553 (OP)
There are none. Yandex is decent from a censorship standpoint, but sucks in countless other ways. And everything that's not Google is insanely slow by comparison. Anons don't want to accept it, but there is currently no search engine as good as Google, even with all the censorship and privacy issues. How hard is it to create a proper interface and implement search operators properly?

shit's expensive, yo.

>>105715808
more like they developed tensor processors for own services

>>105715553 (OP)
Qwant

Bing is good. They also give you points per search that you can use to redeem rewards.

>>105715611
I use it. It's nice.

>>105715553 (OP)
The internet does not exist anymore. Even if google still worked, there is nothing left to search. Its all dead and gone.

>>105715611
I do, but they’ve come out at a bad time. I only really use traditional search for keywords now and mostly just use LLMs for search otherwise.

Go back. Most people don't give a shit about whether some slavs get your search data since no Westoid institution can access it anyway

>>105715553 (OP)
Use Yandex and Grok, both doing a great job honestly.

>>105715553 (OP)
I barely use Google anymore, just perplexity

>>105715668
i said what i use, not that it isnt a meme

>>105715553 (OP)
Kagi, but nobody is willing to pay for software anymore so adtech garbage that continues to be enshittified is what you get and deserve.

Qwant is comfy and has good results

>>105715553 (OP)
To be honest, kagi is the only real alternative to google that is decent for searching.

https://marginalia-search.com

It's only good for finding new indie sites (just like wiby.me)

>>105719947
Wiby.me isn't a search indexer. Its a static list of sites that's never updated that is collated based on stupid arbitrary criteria such as looking old. Marginalia is a search indexer like a normal search engine is. Its not just indie sites. You can filter those out with the tools they offer.

>>105715553 (OP)
I'm all for embracing alternatives to soulless big tech who hates their customers but I can't stop using Google's search engine. It's still too good in comparison to anything else.

>>105715553 (OP)
I like ecosia

>>105715553 (OP)
There is none

>>105715553 (OP)
chud gpt to find and ask it for sources or an exact term/exact title for what im looking for
then google the exact term if the chatbot cant give me the sauce

>>105715553 (OP)
Not really since more and more of the internet is unsearchable.
>>105715692
>>Yandex
>kgb shit
At least you know they don't cooperate which is pretty big deal these days.

Google Pays all three browser engines to include their standards, if they don't they tell Cloudflare to block you. Otherwise Ladybird, Servo and Flow would have taken off years ago.

>>105721816
it's about search engines, not browser engines
>Ladybird
it's just unfinished yet, give it some time
>Servo
it's mozilla project that's not even intended to replace gecko
does it even support css3 fully yet?
>Flow
???

overall, the problem is that 2021 browser probably wouldn't even load all 2025 websites. small engines can't keep up with that

>>105715568
Brave browser on phone is so ugly

>>105721900
Lady Bird will never be feasible as a browser or engine.

>>105721956
why exactly, except for the fact that it's practically impossible to actually keep up with the fast-moving standards, that are already very big
i think it's quite feasible for 4chan or just browsing already, but didn't check it yet

>>105722117
You answered your own question

>>105715553 (OP)
i can't remember the last time i had to search for anything
just keep using google, grandpa

>>105715568
Why the fuck brave hides porn even with safe search off?
I'm not even talking about bluring it, its just gone from results

Do you realize, absolute fucking retards, that duck, startpage, qwant and all the other shit you posted are literal proxies of google and bing?
They literally pay to google to be able to use them, do you think they run a charity for you?

Pro tip:
Use this browser to open shady Baidu and Yandex links

>>105724680
I can't, I have no idea what it is and I'm too lazy to reverse image search.

>>105716140
Yeah I've been enjoying it so far. Bought a year up front so I'm forced to actually use it

>>105716430

desu as long as you're already using pozware you may as well get some rewards. I used to use it to pay for xbox live
