Using a search engine that isn’t saturated with ads and AI trash also solves this problem.
Which other trustworthy search engines are there? And I don’t mean some different frontend or a meta search engine like ddg, sp, kagi, searx(ng), etc… that mostly just use googles, bings or even yandex and beidu results?
Ages ago I configured and hosted yacy for myself, but that was a different time… Are there any real alternatives? With mayor internet companies like cloudflare, social media sites and many others restricting the access to the net and information, searching becomes more and more impossible if you aren’t a huge corporation…
The two criteria I suggested were “not saturated with ads and AI trash” (technically just the latter would satisfy OP’s problem), and DDG meets both of those with no problem. Its AI “assistant” and its ads can both be trivially disabled. I use DuckDuckGo because I love its frontend and because it gives me fewer problems than Google did. I’ve only ever used alternative search engines that piggyback off the major ones (as you listed: DDG, Startpage, and SearX), so someone else would have to answer that for you.
Lets you turn it off for good…until Google removes that feature
Anyone know how to add it to mobile Chrome?
Edit: go to the udm14 site, then open settings/search engine, it’ll be in there. I’m not sure if you have to do a search through the site first for it to show up.
There is an addon for Firefox mobile
Am I the only one questioning the spelling of “tyre“?
