    I have yet to use an alternate search engine for any length of time (and i’ve tried a few) and think “ah yes, this was the kind of results I expected from my search”, they’re systematically worse than google, which is an incredible achievement, considering how absolute garbage google is nowadays.

    Brave, which i’m using now, is atrocious with that. The amount of irrelevant bullshit it throws at you before getting to the stuff you are actually looking for is actually incredible.

      The CEO of brave, Brendan Eich, is opposed to same-sex marriage.
      They, too, are working on their own index, but I cannot support that company and would suggest you seek alternatives.

      And, though Ecosia/DDG don’t always show what I want, it’s very easy to add a !g to my already existing query and get put through to google. Which is rare, mind you, but comes in handy every so often. Does that mean it sometimes takes a *bit* of effort to get the result I’m after? Yeah, but that is a sacrifice I’m happy to make when it comes to supporting alternatives.
