People who still use google these days just like licking the boot
If there is no decent alternative people will use it.
Wtf we have so many good alternatives for search engines, what are you smoking?
What internet do you live in?
I use Duck duck go at work and Qwant (European) privately.
Both are infinitely better than Google and They're only my preferred ones, there are dozens out there.
I do the same, but at times I use Ecosia instead of Qwant. The results are borderline unusable, just like in case of Google - too many commercial links, disrespect for the exact expressions I use or their proximity in text. If something is called similar to a product... So I find these search engines similar to Google, I use them to avoid Google, not to get better results. When image searching, I sometimes go back to Google when I don't get enough results - Google usually finds more.
Less of a bad thing is still a win.
I use DDG and everytime the results are bad I go back to Google. That happens like 1 out of 10 of all my searches. It's kinda cumbersome but whatever, I got used to it.
And now with what's going on with the forced AI, it seems I'm stuck with what DDG has to offer.
Brother, google became so shit that Bing is better at this point
