What do you use? Bing? Yahoo?
I have never heard of these other ones, only DDG, I'll give them a try! Thanks!
duckduckgo.com for images
search.brave.com for everything else
I find that brave still has the same problem as google a lot of the times though. If I search for info about something in Zelda for instance I get the same useless IGN and Gamerant articles rather than a wiki page or actually useful information.
I have yet to find a search engine that doesn't have this problem.
https://www.duckduckgo.com
Is it any good? I haven't used it in ages. Last time I used it was a few years ago, and it kept returning bad results.
I've been using DDG pretty much exclusively for the past couple years now, so yes it works just fine. If you want to see what another search engine would have shown you, you can use a "bang" , and search wikipedia or reddit for example. Pretty useful !
Holy shit bangs are amazing. I'll need to add this to my daily use. Consciously remind myself to do it until it becomes habit. Thanks!
I've never heard of this, but if you want to see that other search engine's results consistently, there's no advantage to this is there?
Duckduckgo mainly.
