  Or better yet, ditch Google altogether.

    I switched to Startpage, an EU-based search engine.

      Not EU based, and not free, but I’ve been loving Kagi.

        Seconding Kagi, it’s worth every penny.

        Well, I’m glad. That being said, Startpage is a search engine located in the Netherlands that you can start using. Just go to the site. Kagi is paid.

      Yes! Startpage rocks hard. I wish Safari would let it be the default search engine (FF does with a simple plug in).

      I’ve been using startpage, but doesn’t it still rely on google results somehow?

      FWIW, wp:Startpage.

      Startpage! No shit. Used to be Ixquick, and I used that for years. Great site - thank you for reminding me it’s still there. :)

    FWIW, wp:Category:Internet search engines.

  For Firefox on Android (which TenBlueLinks doesn’t have listed) add a new search engine and use these settings:

    Lemmy also does code markup with `text`

      Indeed, @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone, like so!:

      Markup code techniques with triple backticks and new lines or single backticks without any spacings/new lines

  Oh thank you I’ve been looking for this

  I would like to say Google is still better at finding search results with more than one word. For example, if somebody searches “santa claus porn” then DuckDuckGo or Ecosia will probably return images of porn or images of santa claus instead of images of santa claus porn.

  However that is no longer true either, because google search continues to get worse all the time. So it’s like there isn’t any good search engines anymore.
