You could try a SearXNG someone hosted, it’s FOSS and not worse than Google :)

Odelay42@lemmy.world 4 months agoI’ve tried to use DDG for a few weeks now, and I find it gets worse the more specific I search.
For general things, it’s fine. But if I’m looking for an installation tutorial for a certain kind of plumbing hardware, it struggles to show me anything but brand and retail pages.

I started using Kagi. Yeah, I have to pay for it. But we’re paying for Google too, kagi is just more honest about how.

Can I use kagi as a default search for my browser?
I’m trying to use Firefox on desktop and mobile more.

Yep!
I use it on FF mobile and desktop all the time, for the last 6 months or so. It is great.

They have a browser plug-in. I use it on Firefox on my desktop and on my Android phone. My uses it on Chrome on both as well.

On Firefox I think you have to right click on the address bar while the website is open to register a new search engine?
