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.

Isn’t DDG just Bing? I know when sites are banned on Bing, they don’t appear there either. Felt it was the same search…

Perhaps Bing with privacy?

I think so, yeah.
