Finally glad to find somewhere to talk about this.
Duck duck go was my first step towards privacy and I used it for years. Sure it had its problems here and there but it was the best I could find. Then they started shoving AI into it and I jumped ship
you mean, Startpage owned by Privacy One Group, a subsidiary of advertising firm System1?
Again of course suggestions for a not crap search engine?
off the top of my head, the options aren’t great – your best bet is check in with !privacy@lemmy.ml and !privacyguides@lemmy.one
Thanks!
