As long as they don’t suddenly stop supporting Apple devices overnight, leaving Apple to scramble to make their own search engine that sucks and still sucks 10 years later. #mapgate
There was a recent post about them entertaining making DuckDuckGo the default. I think it's just a negotiation point.
I have switched to DDG and like it.
It was ok to me, but still tended to find the Google results better (especially in verbatim mode) and kept going back to it.
I'm using Kagi right now for a bunch of reasons and it's awesome, but 99.99% of people aren't going to pay money for a search engine. Especially at these prices. But it's way less money than Google, and Bing make off mining our data, or DDG does selling ads and doing SOME mining
Only for private mode, which made some sense.
But...the maps are actually pretty good now? I thought?
They’re getting better but still takes you to the the back entrance of the place now and then. Plus it doesn’t take me to the shortest drive on my commute. Keeps on taking me to local streets, adding 5 minutes then I disregard the turn and it updates for a shorter drive. But they’re making progress.
