Google is making its Search more centred around AI, turning it into a conversation.

Besides being a worse experience, the websites from which it sources its information are losing all traffic and recognition.

Recommend a list of alternatives:

Kagi - Paid but better experience than Google
Ecosia - Similar experience while supporting a good cause
Qwant - Increasingly unique results and building a EU-first index
DuckDuckGo - Privacy-focused search, but quality of results may vary

The only reason I really have to keep Google's search bar on my home screen is Lens, it's unfortunately the best option currently for quickly translating signs and food packaging in my host country.
