Put “fucking” into any google search and the ai won’t be there. At least for now.
(Or you know, use something other than Google…)
Any suggestions?
Searx is decent but you have to deal with rate limiting and switching instances unless you self host
Yandex is possibly fine but you have to deal with tracking in your links
DuckDuckGo is okay but I don’t think it handles image search or at least not well
Duck duck go is full of ai now too
You can disable it via persistent cookie
I’m sure someone will come by and poop all over me, but I use Kagi. AI bullshit is Silo’d away and it feels like how search engines used to. I’m not particularly tied to it though, sometimes Yandex works better depending on the search. Also, it’s a paid service which turns most people off.
I’ve jumped over to this side and I like it. I part a fee for a service to not be the product.
I can rank sites that come back in results. Pinterest is gone from my results and Reddit is lower priority in results as I try for better sources. Forums, science, small web, and Recipes as interesting filters to have at your fingertips.
The summarizer features are enough to help me know which link I may want to actually read.
However, if I’m shopping for something obscure to purchase. Google will be best.
