Am i the only one who thinks that using "Google it" instead of "search it" or "look it up" is problematic? (lemmygrad.ml)

There are so many search engines out there and even chat bots to get info from. I refuse to let Google monopolize an action.

just yesterday i was watching a Danganronpa (someone posts a lot about it around here so i got curious lol) playthrough in youtube and one of the characters in the game said "just google it". This is a game released like 15 years ago.

It kind of sucks because there are many other search engines and google has been getting worse and worse. Maybe it was always like this but nowadays i feel like every website in the front page of google is straight up written by an AI.

    You should try this privacy-respecting meta-search engine 😊. This is the one that I use. It is an open-source project that doesn't have any ads and works only on donations. Also, it doesn't log IP addresses or searchers.

    I just don’t trust for profit companies to keep their word about privacy when the opportunity to sell your data is there.
