    It kinda depends what you’re looking for. For technical stuff DDG is much better than Google (I don’t know about kagi) but for local information Google still gives better results. Google seems to return what it thinks you want to search for and not what you actually tell it to so for exact searches it’s always worse. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for Google can be better sometimes.

      Please try kagi.

      Not saying it’s you, but some people that think paying for Search is silly have forgotten how wonderful clean searches with actual answers are.

        I’ve gotten pretty used to DDG’s interface. I’ll try kagi at some point but I don’t know if I’d use it full time.

      that’s because google is geared towards selling shit, not locating articles on the internet.

      DDG shits me with its “oh a - symbol means show less of something” no it means I want it fucking elimated you fl00n.
