Logan Kilpatrick, lead product manager for Google DeepMind, Gemini, and all AI products at Google, said Google AI Mode will be the default for Google Search “soon.” He said this after Google made google.com/ai go directly to AI Mode’s interface on Friday afternoon.

yes, make your search worse so it’s easier to switch
Man, if I had used Google as a search engine in the past decade, that might have really pissed me off.
What’s the best alternative for Google?
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.
people always suggest alternatives that pull from google or similar, so a reminder google is on the BDS list

I dont know much about it but I’ve been using yandex a lot, and searching websites directly
Yandex is supported by the fascist, imperialist Russian mafia state.
I’d recommend self-hosted SearXNG instead.
Yandex is Russian
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)
Mojeek is British, not EU. But it’s good privacy wise.
For a Startpage alternative, Qwant exists (which is very good). But it’s not as good for privacy.
Well, Andisearch is from an Californian startup, but I use it because its strong active privacy protection, full GDPR compliant, apart of their clear statement against the surveillance capitalism and biased AI’s from big corporations. Because this it’s the exeption for me to use also an US service, also because accurate results with sources.
… We’re a small team of two founders (Angela and Jed) and some friends. We’re on a mission to unbreak the Internet and save the world from spam, misinformation and ad tech.
Search is broken because of misinformation, SEO spam and ads, and surveillance capitalism. It hasn’t changed in 20 years. Things are getting worse. The rise of GPT-based chatbots that confidently generate accurate-sounding “BS” with made-up sources is driving misinformation through the roof.
And the CLOUD act then? Doesn’t the US require a backdoor for a lot of stuff?
I’m paranoid of the fascists.
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
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.
Glad that I no longer use them.
