I'm trying to degoogle. I've heard good things about DuckDuckGo and I've been using it for the past few weeks and it's pretty solid. But I'm just wondering what the Lemmy/Piefed community prefer for a search engine.

Qwant/Ecosia.

Used to use Kagi (paid search engine, if you don't know it) which was truly remarkable and well worth its cost, at least in my eyes. But, as a EU citizen, last year US shit show, made me realize I'd better rely less on US-based tech. So...

    Agreed. If anyone knows about an EU (or allies) search engine with a business model that's not strictly based on advertising (topped up by grants perhaps), let us know.

    I use Ecosia/Qwant for now.

    Yeah I'm with Qwant for the moment.

    I used to use Kagi.

    I used to use DDG before that.

    I don't really have any complaints about any of these.

    I'm trying to get better at using bangs to search on the sites I'm specifically looking for.
