Not just DDG, there has been an increase in search engine startups, some with pretty well-known people taking the lead, that probably got them worried


Any good ones? I'd love to experiment.


Brave Search is quite good. They basically trained their model to give the same results as Google, but they give prioritized sections to real discussions. Plus they have a cool goggles experiment.

Mojeek is hit or miss, but occasionally does better than Google.

I haven't really used it myself, but I've heard good things about Kagi.


Kagi has been pretty great in my experience


I started using as a test drive (as I have been a happy DDG user before that). I really like the fact that there is no ad, I can easily rank the pages or even block them (be gone w3schools) and ultimately I don't ever have to go to google anymore. The result are quite solid, even for local non-english searches which DDG struggles a bit.


Very much This. It's good that google is now doing a panic because of Kargi.

Too little, too late. Pity they didn't listen years ago.


Ooof you have to pay? I guess I can't complain about ads any more. I'll try it out.
