For the past few years, a growing number of users, analysts, and experts raised alarms about a truth that feels obvious to a lot of people who surf around in web browsers: the quality of Google results is in serious decline. Google disagrees.

The dangers of a monopoly. No matter how bad Google gets people will still use it because, in many people’s minds, there is no other search engine.
What are those? DDG, Bing, Ecosia etc. are all not really better than Google. I haven‘t tried Kagi yet, mostly because it costs money.
I agree it does suck in general One thing I tried is using a metasearch engine and for the least part I find the results better and way more customizable (for reference I am self hosting searxNG)
You can use Kagi for free if you make an account and only use it when the others fail. Love Kagi, but won’t pay for it.
i was struggling with DDG too, but in another post i saw someone recommend searx and it is actually really good.
Fyi searx is deprecated or at least not maintained and discontinued Switch to searxNG which is an active fork and it is really good :D
You can actually try kagi for free. 100 searches/month should be enough for you to decide if it’s worth the money to you.

Kagi went to bed with Brave, and when people protested they ignored it
Is kagi a metasearch engine? Or does it have its own crawler and so on?
