[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago (3 children) Don't use Google. Learn how to search the internet, its not hard. Adblock is your friend. People will stop using it only when it becomes unbearable. Their own business tbh. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Biscuit@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I’ve replaced probably 70% of my searching with ChatGPT. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 years ago Thats one hell of a bad idea. permalink fedilink source parent [–] krevassi@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) What search engines you suggest?
