“For good” someone might need to learn what that means. Google is going to axe this I’m sure.
I feel like Google is trying to speedrun killing their search service. It was already significantly shittier lately just because of all the sponsored bullshit and SEO spam, but this rush to cash in on the AI fad has really destroyed the last utility it had.
Why do people still use Google search? I switched years ago. It was easy. I don’t regret.
About every 6 months I try to migrate to DDG, and historically there has always been something pertaining to organic search relevancy that has lured me back to the devil’s embrace.
That said, I’m going to give it a go again. Just switched the default back to DDG.
Learn bangs!
95% of my searches, DDG is fine and I’ve learnt where it might struggle and I just end the search with !g
This then searches Google, yeah I’m still using Google for 5% of my searches but it’s better than 100%.
Or use !start to search startpage.
Google sux, I used to love DDG, and the they stopped indexing Yandex which imo made it just as bad as google
