I used to love Google, the company, the search, the tech. But god damn if in the last 5 years it hasn’t become the most insane ad delivery tool in existence. Sometimes when I Google something it’s multiple full pages of ads before I actually see what I’m looking for. I switched to duckduckgo.
Should look into Kagi. No ads at all, for $5/month
I don't think that's a good idea in terms of privacy and reliability. You need an account to use it
In terms of privacy that could be debatable.
But what do you mean by reliability?
DDG is essentially Bing though. The results aren’t the greatest. If Bing decides to ban a site, it’s banned on DDG.
Try presearch: it has way better results than DDG
Seems like a Brave-esqe crypto platform:
True, for the browser. But their search engine works in any browser and has the best quality search results
The site has ads too. Nothing specific to the app.
