I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?
Edit: I meant to also express my frustration that most browsers do not let you select a “default search engine” that can be used in the address bar aside from 3-5 pre-chosen engines. Seems like 2023 we should be able to customize that to our own liking.
Edit 2: Thanks for the recommendation of Kagi. I’m going to roll with it for a while. I see they have an extension for Safari that allows them to hijack the address bar, which is just what I needed.
DuckDuckGo on Firefox. If you truly want to de-google your life avoid Chrome and Chromium based browsers like Edge and Brave

But it doesn’t track you. So, better Privacy
ublock origin says otherwise
It does track you, but only Microsoft.
How so? It existed before bing.
They have changed the way they gather results since they first launched.
Ok so it’s a bing proxy basically?
It used to be Google search without the extras.
DDG uses Bing for 100% of its results.
Interesting, when DDG fails to give me anything worth while, I go to Bing and usually get what I’m looking for.
People use bing? I find the results just like a dogs breakfast. Such a mess.
I use bing more and more. It’s not fantastic but feels like it’s on track to be ome better than google.
