Or DuckDuckGo, ecosia, bing, askjeeves, nexislexis, Qwant, altavista…
wow, I had no idea it still existed! I don't think I've used it since it was altavista.digital.com
edit: it doesn't, it's just yahoo search now
I thought the same about askjeeves, can’t believe it made it this long
Damn! This talk of forgotten search engines made me realise that dogpile.com is still alive! I dimly recall using it before Google's rise to power.
What happened to lycos?
What a blast from the past. I remember using Lycos in my school's computer room. That was almost 25 years ago.
Lycos Mail was the very first example of email I ever saw. It blew my mind when I was a small kid.
DuckDuckGo is Bing under the hood.
I use its app and search service and it consistently outputs better and faster than google.
Although I don't use it personally I used google for a very short time in a professional setting, with high speed internet access, and the results and speed of delivery was trash when compared.
In another thread, a lemming mentioned they have improved on the privacy provided, after renegotiating with Microsoft.
I've had the exact opposite experience.
Not doubting your word. How could we compare experiences in a somewhat reliable way?
Can't we just shout at each other instead like civilized people?
Why? Shouting is painful to hear and a waste of energy.
It's therapeutic.
I'll concede to that. But why shout at each other? None of us has wronged the other.
I SAID IT'S THERAPEUTIC
Not at my personal expense. Your therapy does not imply my trauma.
You don't know what the word "we" means?
And you apparently don't understand I have no interest to shout or be shouted at.
