I find myself using duckduckgo and kagi more and more. All search engines suck, honestly, but the not-Google choices maybe suck a little less. Google results have gotten horrible, it's so obvious it's just serving up sponsored ad links, not actual information. I mean, that's been the case for a long time but they've really dialed up the suck.
Tried ddg years ago, but I found Searx(NG) and I stick to it since. So awesome. The only downside is that some instances can be unstable for a bit (for example, certain search engine can stop working), but you can export and import settings really easily so I just use another instance I trust until my main one is back to normal.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out.
Sure, visit !vaporents@lemmy.beyondcombustion.net and !vaporents@lemmy.world to start exploring. Also, fuckcombustion.com is an awesome forum about this field.
And please, don't fall to these headship vapes, which are mostly crap.
Edit: Also, I gave a general recommendation to another user here so it might be useful to you too.
