I was hoping qwant, with its own (partial) search index, would be immune to it, but searching for neocities also doesn’t show any results for neocities.org there unfortunately, or at least it did not for me.
will ig am switching off DDG
Startpage seems nice. Uses sanitized results from Google and while it does have an AI feature, it’s opt-in (not out) and looks to also be sanitized.
I want to (try) relying less on Google And Microsoft so I decided to try mojeek.
Oh no! Bing got to this guy too!

I can't even convince my spouse to switch to firefox to get adblocking back. Browsers are entirely transparent to most users :\

Just install it and change the icon.
Wait, what browser are they using that doesn’t support plugins? IE11?

“Normies” don’t use PCs anymore. Whatever apps the phone vendor preinstalled, Web or other, is the internet.

This also applies to the results on Duckduckgo so I assume this affects a lot of people here.
