    Good.

    I switched over to DuckDuckGo many years ago and have never looked back.

    If the search results aren’t good enough, you can always use the “!g” bang to search google results through DDG.

    This was really interesting. Thank you for sharing it here!

    Just wanted to share this good bit in the comments here:

    I hope that this is good news. The biggest strengths of the Internet are its decentralisation and egalitarianism, and the monopoly of Google search has been the total opposite of those. I am happy to see that other search engines are growing in popularity and I hope this trend will continue. Web search should be as it says on the tin, search providing links to websites, and replacing links with an AI generated summary with a high chance of malforming their content is just not the right way, dangerous for the openness and freedom of the web.

    It tracks that less results to a website search would be from Google as it is less about searching for websites now.
