    Google as a search engine is more or less dead. I was only really using Google to search reddit. Now that I’m done with reddit… There goes Google.

        “Don’t be evil” is still in Google’s Code of Conduct, it’s just been at the end of the document rather than the start since 2018.

        Google did evil shit before and after the change, it’s not quite the big deal that some people make it out to be!

      What’s your preferred alternative? I use DuckDuckGo, and it’s… OK. I still often switch over to Google when I’m having a hard time finding relevant results on DDG.

        DDG works really good in my opinion. I rarely use google, and if I do use it, I find the results almost always lacking too. The only time when google is better, is if I’m looking to purchase something, and want to find a place that sells the product I’m looking for.

        SearXNG. It’s a meta-search aggregator, you can use any public instance (the config is all in-browser) or host your own for kind of extra privacy.

        It seems to depend on the type of search. For ordinary information, I’m using DuckDuckGo. For shopping, I go to Google, but the results aren’t great. I’m undecided for serious research.
