Debate: Are those "Don't use Google" alternative search engines actually any good?
I've been trying out DuckDuckGo and Ecosia for the past 2 weeks after a buddy swore they were better for privacy and the planet. Last month I even tried a smaller one called Mojeek for a few days, which felt clunky but had no tracking at all. But honestly, I keep going back to Google when I need to find something fast, like a specific restaurant menu or a tutorial from 2016. Three years ago I wouldn't have even bothered, but now I'm wondering if the privacy trade off is worth the worse results. Has anyone else stuck with an alternative long term, or do you just use Google for the convenience?
