You also should just stop using Google Search. DuckDuckGo is solid, or if you don't want to use search results from Bing's index, I've been very happy with Brave Search.

I agree about DDG, but I find Kagi worth paying for.

I have been using Kagi for about a month now. Haven't had any desire during that time to go back to Google. Solid search engine!

A very valuable service for its price.

Also translate.kagi.com is much better than Google’s one.

For translation, a good one is DeepL.

		I used it until I found Kagi one.

people say that but they often come back to Google ;)

I've just learnt to use ad blockers. the only time I disable it is when I look up the definition of something or the location of a place and the entire page goes blank because of some rules I've added to uBlock.

		> people say that but they often come back to Google ;) It used to be the case. One of my laptop is setup with default DDG and the rare times I switch back to google I'm disappointed by even worse results.

It's solid, I use it 95% of the time, that 5% Google usually still disappoints.

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=midjourney&ia=web -> Hmm, midjourney the AI thingy is not even there for me! Just https://www.midjourney.com which is not really clear on what it is. Midjourney is at Midjourney.online, which is not even on the first page. So Argualbly Google is still better. What a world.

Btw, I search DDG from the Firefox bar, and that does not let me copy the URL anymore!!! Wtf. There is just the search term, like there is in the field below it!! Omg, now I have the same thing twice, and a useful thing has been lost.

		> I search DDG from the Firefox bar, and that does not let me copy the URL anymore Yeah, I just noticed too. Go to Settings->Search there's a checkbox just below the default search engine. Uncheck that. Should be something along the lines of "Show search terms in the address bar in search results" (sorry for any errors in the translation, my browser's language is not English).

		Erm, I'm fairly confident Midjourney.com is what you're talking about? https://www.midjourney.com/explore?tab=video_top Midjourney.online doesn't show up on either platform for me on the first page.

Duck Duck Go is consistently worse than Google Search in, see https://www.tumblr.com/ddgvsggl

The only people who would say that are people who would be better off just asking ChatGPT.

Any nuanced search that isnt some encyclopedic fact is terrible on DDG.

		I agree somewhat, but those searches are getting less and less good on Google though. In my recent experience, I'm far better off asking ChatGPT or just using it through Bing/Copilot than what I used to do a decade ago, which was deep dives through 5 pages of long-tail search results.
