Set up https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ as my default search engine
@cwebber if theres a massive movement away from google that could be the bubble pop
@cwebber @TimChaffee I switched to Kagi. Worth every freaking penny.
@cwebber
I did a while ago, it's so much better this way!
(For people who don't know, the full string to set is "https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s")
@silvermoon82 @cwebber This string does not work for me when there is a / in the searched string....
@cwebber
Dump all Google Stock
@cwebber I’ve been using Kagi for a while and (for me) it has better results.
Plus they’re incentivized to see me as customer, not as a blob of data to sell.
Of course they have their own problems too (like bad Safari integration).
@cwebber I finally made the switch recently too. I wanted to like DuckDuckGo for years but I found the quality of their results too much of a downgrade from Google (for the kinds of searches that I do). Now I've come around to DDG, not because their results have improved, but because Google's have deteriorated
@cwebber Honestly it's pretty good. I very rarely pop in !g to double check the Google results (which are slowly degrading anyway)
@cwebber Honestly, it's been about as good as Google for a while now. Not really because it's gotten any better though
@cwebber it's pretty good!
