Sundar Pichai steps in shite yet again. He's an utter moron.

Weird Al or Al Capone

I have been using DDG for awhile and I like it.

But I wouldn't mind trying out others.

What are some good non google alternatives?

Ecosia

Kagi if you're willing to pay (to an American company) for really high quality search results, e.g. for deep technical or scientific work

Startpage gives a good search experience; it uses Google's index. I've read that they're owned by an ad company though, casting doubt on their privacy claims

Qwant is also liked by a decent number of people, but I think there are issues about the behavior of the company behind it

Kagi has been my go to for a while now.
DDG is among the best in my opinion.

I’m not anti-AI, but I’m against it in everything all the time even when I didn’t want or need it.

I still see a lot of ai generated images on DDG no ai.

My expectation for it is simply that DDG isn't running any AI to give me an overview/summary, and instead just giving me links to relevant sites. It's not DDG fault if sites hosting content don't clearly mark that the content was AI generated. Is there even a standard for sites to convey that to search engine indexers?
