    Man, if I had used Google as a search engine in the past decade, that might have really pissed me off.

      I use Qwant since a half year and pretty happy with it. I don’t know if it’s the best, but it does the work for me.

      SearXNG it can pull from multiple search engines you can use Google and stuff in it, but it anonymizes your queries I use it and the results are so fucking great

      The nearest in results is Startpage, it use the Google base but without logging, tracking and other crap, uses proxie. Andisearch, if you want a reliable and really private search with AI, free to use, no account, no cookies, nor logs or trackings, random proxie and sandboxed searches. Kagi is also good, but isn’t free (limited searches in free version and need an account, which by definition isn’t very private). Mojeek is also a good alternative from the EU, like also MetaGer (multiengine from Germany)

    I use Kagi’s AI search for things that are “unGooglable”, but you explicitly have to turn that on by adding a question mark to the end of the query. Otherwise, I use its standard search.

    It does take a little bit longer to get answers, but there’s value in the struggle. I don’t want to become a braindead AI repeater.
