    Yeah I’m far too used to getting my search for free to pay for it. I’ll fuckin’ use chatgpt before I pay a subscription fee for that shit, even if it is a substantially better option.

      Look at you having standards.

      That’s what I said before I used it, you can try it free for 30 days

        I looked at it briefly, the only free option I saw was 100 free searches, which will not last your average user anywhere near 30 days. Shit that might not last me 3 days depending on what I’m doing.

  Shiiit, I really don’t want to go back to Google and all their sponsored/AI/tracking bullshit.

  I can tell you confidently that I simply just won’t.

    What’s the alternative? I guess you can use chatgpt or whatever as a sort of search engine? shrug

      people who use LLMs as search engine make me go 😨

      my colleagues are doing it too, and I just want to yell at them that LLMs have no idea about reality, they will confidently tell you to eat glue

  You think Microsoft gives you privacy?

  They make billions on targeted ad revenue.

  • Libra@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No, I use duckduckgo which is powered by Bing’s API. Hence why I said other privacy-focused search engine.

  Brave Search has its own index

  • Libra@lemmy.ml ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Is that something built into the browser? i dropped Brave when I heard Google was forcing the adblock-gimping shit in Manifest V3 into Chomium. Also I was never entirely keen on their crypto-hawking bullshit.

  Mullvad Leta is at least google minus the tracking.
