I don't think you understand, we are the ones who are getting fucked. Search results are getting worse and harder for you to find what you need with all the ads, fake news, sponsored sites, ai generated articles, etc.. Google doesn't care if you find high quality results, they will still gett traffic and their money because people won't just stop using it.

  1. Don't use Google.

  2. Learn how to search the internet, its not hard.

  3. Adblock is your friend.

  4. People will stop using it only when it becomes unbearable. Their own business tbh.

What search engines you suggest? Duckduckgo is useless for me, but so is google nowadays tbh.

Try Searx. It is a free, open source metasearch engine so it gets results from other engines. Albeit much more privately than accessing those services directly.
