Try Kagi. You may love it like I did.
Genuinely curious, what makes it so great?
For me, it finds smaller websites that usually contain the information I need, but aren't SEOd that well so they don't appear on ad-driven search engines. Also the programming lens is great
I like being able to prioritize sites I like and deprioritize/block ones I don’t.
Hell no. Paying for something that's the same as ddg. That's a terrible idea, and the results aren't any better, despite how much their marketing claims it to be and that smaller blogs show up more.
I guess you get what you pay for then lol
In this case you actually get more for free. Not to mention the paid service is a privacy nightmare since all of the searched are done through a logged in user. Which also means it's incompatible with private browsing. But their marketing says "trust me bro", while they're selling you an overrated product. DDG even simply through a VPN is a million times more private then any logged in service. You need to assume if something is trackable, it will be tracked. Don't follow marketing blindly.
