Google Search as you know it is over - but there are alternatives (see post) (techcrunch.com)

Google is making its Search more centred around AI, turning it into a conversation.

Besides being a worse experience, the websites from which it sources its information are losing all traffic and recognition.

Recommend a list of alternatives:

  • Kagi - Paid but better experience than Google
  • Ecosia - Similar experience while supporting a good cause
  • Qwant - Increasingly unique results and building a EU-first index
  • DuckDuckGo - Privacy-focused search, but quality of results may vary

I haven't used Google search since 2008, when I starting using Linux and Duckduckgo was the default search engine for Firefox.

Oh, how Firefox changed...

Firefox always used Google as their default search engine, since Google pays a lot of money for that privilege.

Edit: some Linux distros used to change that default while they were shipping a non-branded fork of Firefox.
