Here I was in my own little bubble appearently, thinking people were using https://kagi.com to search now that it exists, but a comment I got made me realize that's probably not the case...

You really should try this search engine. I switched to it 6 months ago and before that I was using duckduckgo, and often had to throw a !g in there to get proper results.

I remember setting it as default as a test and then I just forgot about Google. :)

It's not free however, you will have to pay a few bucks for it. But to me it's about supporting alternatives to Google which I very happily do. It's only a few bucks.

Have you tried it and what was your experience?

I switched to Kagi a few months ago, and I haven't had to use !g at all so far. Given that I had to daily on DDG, I'm pretty satisfied with the results!

Exactly my experience. It was just a switch and forget thing. Very nice.

Maybe it's just a few people that care, but I really care about not having Google record what I'm doing on the web. Why should any company be allowed to look at that? They don't own the internet, it's not theirs, even though I guess it feels like that sometimes since they are everywhere.
