DuckDuck may be bad, but it is the best way to access MicroSofts search algo, without being directly involved with them.

There is no way anyone would get me to use either Google or Bing.

I flip

And flop.

dilly-dilly

to find what I am looking for.

That's the flop part.

Pure hogwash. The filthy media is 98% biased LibStain. For politics they all search the same BS. Garbage in garbage out.

Use AI searches (they search more and faster) they search sites censored Google won't. Use GROK or Brave. They work best. They work on every request.

They can scan a chess board.jpg and give you the best move? Pretty sure. They can watch a video or find a video you are looking for? Try that with Duck.

So do I

But the AI feature has a lib bias

Its ok for technical questions but not political issues

Just about all AI has a lib bias. Because most of the programmers and producers have a lib bias. So one needs to do their own filter out.

The bias confirms GIGO.

Google and Duck pretty much get the same results. I don't see any big advantage.
It's the algorithm's that screw up your searches. Kill the algorithm and you could get untainted results.

Musk is supposedly working on an alternative search engine that most likely won't be free.

Looking for a fast free search engine that does not require credit card # etc.

Currently? DuckDuckGo is the way to Go. Not perfect but free. And they claim to focus on privacy.

I flip between multiple search engines to find what I am looking for. I have several plugged into my search bar, and toggle between them.

These are the ones that are currently in use;

Google still the best for images.

Grok is the best so far re AI.

What the hell kind of porn and/or sick shit are you people searching for that you need to worry about tracking?

Don't like ads then just use U Block Origin.

it's called right to privacy. Nothing to do with legalities. It's nobody's business but mine.

Duck is very disappointing. It seemed initially to be fairly accurate on matching string searches. Maybe it was just my imagination.

Anything but google if you do not want to be tracked. I onky use google when I want the most common answer fast and/or I do not care when is known to them as being provided ads may be welcome. This is true when I was searching for the symptoms of my health and I wanted the most accurate responses while also did not mind if advertisers provided more info in the future.

I onky use google when I want the most common answer fast...

Ah yes. The most common answer fast.

This is why people are so collectively uninformed yet actually believe that they are informed.
