Check out Kagi. It’s a subscription search service since they don’t show you ads, but that also means they don’t track you at all (no search history, for example). They also let you influence the priorities of the sites you see in the results or even completely block them, and the results are usually better than Google with less bullshit – or even at worst as good as Google. Some people seem to be skeptical about paying for a search engine, but everybody wanting shit for free is what got us into this fucking mess in the first place
I second this, was about to recommend Kagi, auto filters listicles, fantastic for actually finding information written by real people on blogs and things that aren’t SEO spam
Quick bangs alone almost make it worth it for me. The functionality exists in other browsers but it’s not synced, so being universal in the search engine itself is a giant usability improvement for me. Especially when using in conjunction with Orion.
A subscription search is an interesting idea, is there any more info about the company behind Kagi available anywhere? Looking from my phone I can’t find much
I personally moved from Google to DDG a few years ago, and the last time I tried Google the results were bootywaste.
I expect we’ll lose about 90% of the web within five years
Which part? I feel it will be part I don’t even want. I might be forced to use that part for work, but that will be nice filter.
I was thinking that “they” ( governments and big corporations) should have their own internet which is clean and ordered and “safe” and leave us on other part. This might be a way to achieve that.
You might want to recommend forks of Firefox too. Part of the reason Chrome/Chromium is dominant is because of its forks, and a fork of Firefox might appeal to someone more than the main browser. I use Pulse, but Waterfox is also solid from what I’ve heard.
Unfortunately when my bank or other critical institution rejects Firefox for failure to use attestation, I can’t even do that. I’ll be forced to use Chrome. Firefox would have to adopt WEI to remain compatible. In that case I can use Firefox, but it would be the same as using Chrome.
I’d say the monopoly Google has with Chrome is way more threatening than in the early 2000’s with MS and IE. That threat resulted in an anti-trust lawsuit, but not a peep from any government about the destruction Google is doing.
I‘m old so i actually remember this but I‘m old so my memory might be shit but wasn‘t the lawsuit about the fact that microsoft shipped IE wirth windows as a default browser and not about it being too dominant?
I know I’m just dreaming, but I really like the Gemini protocol and hope it’ll grow and develop more. It doesn’t have everything, but it’s very close to the "old web’.
I’ll keep using Firefox and be extremely vocal about websites that won’t support it. I mean that’s all I can really do.
I expect we’ll lose about 90% of the web within five years as this becomes normalized.
It will primarily be the seo driven AI crap driven ripoff regurgitated shitfest that’s arisen in the last 5 years tho.
I’ll be waiting for a search engine to arise that only shows user controllable presentation and will use that.
A way to filter out the corporate trash will make the human web better, not worse.

I’m pretty satisfied with Kagi after using it for a bit over two months.

Is Brave safe from these shenanigans? Asking for a friend.
Brave is a re-skin of Chromium.
