The top posts aren't always ads, I don't have to keep rephrasing everything to find what I'm looking for, it's been great. permalink fedilink source parent [–] GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) If you want a better alternative, Kagi is better than Google in my experience. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] xaxl@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Kagi is paid unfortunately. That might not be a bad thing but it's going to really hurt adoption when "free" Google still exists. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago* (1 child) It's not about mass adoption for me. It's about not giving Google my info to resale. You should do what's best for you, not what is going to get adopted enmass. I do see how you could've taken my recommendation as 'killing google' given the parent comment, though. Unfortunately Google isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but that doesn't mean you have to use it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] xaxl@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I didn't say it's going to kill Google at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* Huh?
