Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad? (lemmy.ml)

So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.

I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).

I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

I can’t justify Kagi’s pricing but I liked it. I’d blow through the cheapest plan in a week. Neeva was pretty good too before they pivoted, also pricey imo though.

I blew through the $5 plan in a short amount of time. I'm a curious person, I guess! I really like it though so decided $120/year was worth it for unlimited.

Compared to DDG (Bing) the search results are really good. When using DDG I would frequently revert to Google, but not with Kagi.

Same. I work and play at my computer, so I certainly get my use out of it. I wouldn't pay for it if both my work and my hobbies weren't both on my PC.
