I have always liked and used Duck duck go more than google but now i am considering if i should switch because of the shit they pulled with their app and yesterday when i clicked a link it took me directly to their newsletter subsciption page not even like a popup a proper page without any way except manually backing out . So is there a better alternative or is DDG still the best ? Would appreciate if the search ingine came with firefox and i don’t have to jump through hoops to use it. I moved the post from ask lemmy to here .And also i deleted the post from ask lemmy because i thought it wasn’t the appropriate sub (i know should’ve thought of that before posting )
Maybe kagi? I use it and like it
There is some controversy recently due to partnering with Brave for search results, and the response to comments. Brave tends to be controversial any time it comes up anyway, outside of Eich’s political views.
People can go whatever direction they want with that.
This is also not their only controversy. When someone proposed in their forums that Kagi should add a widget that would help people get help if they are searching for suicide material, Kagi refused because that isn’t the result that the person was searching for.
He later apologized for that comment extensively.
he was also removing criticism form queer folks on their Discord while leaving up valuable discussion points like “stop shoving LGBTQ down our throats”.

well, I saw the thread being deleted while I was reading it. I would’ve posted it myself but, y’know.
It’s controversy for some people who are looking for perfect companies.
Others like me realize that they don’t exist, and you should choose something, anything, other than Google that you feel happy with. Today.
