A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I started using it this year because its actually been giving me decent results unlike google. We're...in a dark timeline

Hmm. I have an incredibly strong aversion to everything Microsoft, so even giving Bing a chance is difficult. However, I must admit that I can recognize the part about Google not delivering. I even went so far as to tamper with the CSS recently just to make Google's results slightly easier to parse.

Maybe it's time to try something new 🤔 I just wish the only viable alternative wasn't made by Microsoft 😓🤢

Dark timeline, indeed! 😔

No kidding, the only other options ive found are

Duckduckgo, which is serviceable but kind of bad, and

Kagi, which is looking promising and has lots of features i enjoy, but paying for a search engine is a hard sell.

Check out Kagi, paid search is extremely worth it. Stop being a product to sell and start being a customer.
