If anyone has a better search engine idea, I'm open.

Because I don't like saying I BING-ED it, frankly.

But... fuck Google and their bullshit.

QWANT is definately worth checking out.

Duck Duck Go is also a good choice.

I’m using Ecosia as the plant trees but they aren’t great but at least they don’t feed you sponsored shit.

thelionseye.bsky.social•15 days ago

lol, the top search on bing has always been google, but i admire your commitment, maryscott. i can make that switch too

maryscottoconnor.com•15 days ago

I switched it to DuckDuckGo.

I can switch it as many times as I have to.

I just want SOMETHING that doesn't make me feel like I'm soliciting a two-dollar whore in front of Trump Tower.

thelionseye.bsky.social•15 days ago

well that cancels out jeeves as well then, he's had to resort to some really tragic behavior since google

https://DuckDuckGo.com ftw

I duck duck go. Reccomended to me by paranoid IT types....

tine119.bsky.social•15 days ago

Startpage shows similar results to the fascist one. Similarly DuckDuckGo.

coinfitz.bsky.social•15 days ago

DDG is the least distasteful option.

tsrhg.bsky.social•15 days ago

I second this.

mreos.bsky.social•15 days ago

Im using Duck Duck Go. One thing you definitely can’t do is say you duckduckgoed it

bro-ken.bsky.social•15 days ago

A few recos:

DuckDuckGo is actually powered by bing but doesn’t have all the privacy issues like others so I would recommend it.

Ecosia for feeling good about searching in order to get trees planted on this earth.

torin8.bsky.social•15 days ago

Ecosia plants trees...
DuckDuckGo too

maryscottoconnor.com•15 days ago

Cool. I've never even HEARD of DuckDuckGo.

But I'll give it a whirl.

But... I DUCKDUCKGO'd IT???

I DUCKED it?

torin8.bsky.social•15 days ago

DDG'd it?

ecarney.bsky.social•15 days ago

DuckDuckWent, surely.

maryscottoconnor.com•15 days ago

I Duck Duck WENT?

lifeisok4me.bsky.social•14 days ago

I’ve been using the engine and browser for close to two decades. Change your privacy settings to your highest level of comfort, don’t save passwords, etc., etc. and be much happier. DDG doesn’t use SEO so your search results are more organic, more relevant, more reliable.

Duckduckgo

They block tracking and ads!

twajokers.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yeah, I use Duck Duck Go as well. Pretty close on results, without the metallic aftertaste of regret.

teramis.bsky.social•15 days ago

https://duckduckgo.com is great. Same search capabilities as google and it is huge on blocking trackers and other good security measures. It's my default in the browser I use most often.
