if you looking for a good alternative for google search, try "SearXNG" (lemmy.ca)

actually awesome and fast search engine (depending on which instance you use) with no trashy AI and ADs results also great for privacy, if you don't know which instance to use go to https://searx.space/ and choose an instance closest to you

Kagi works great for me. 100% worth it, best engine I've tried.

5 dollars for 300 searches per month? Dafuk? And to top it up, need an actual account with email. Gets acquired in a couple of years, and all the data they gather on you gets sold. You'd be better off staying with Google.

Ok I need to put my tinfoil hat on for a moment but I think there is some viral marketing going on for it on Lemmy. The frequency I see it recommended or mentioned and the unorganic way it is brought up gives me advert vibes.

Shit. There's no follow button in Lemmy. Finally someone that brings up a good point.

From what i understand, you need an account to use that, dosn't seem very private.
