(In your opinion)
I’m using DDG, but I’m not satisfied with it. The quality of answers is subpar and I find myself switching to google or LLMs when I’m researching some things where community opinion matter (for some reason reddit and forums are undervalued by DDG algorithm).
I could try daily driving alternatives, but I know I will be biased and it will noticably slow down my workflows.
I’d join the others here recommending Kagi if you can stomach the price. I’ve tried quite a few over the years but have now been on Kagi for over 2 years and can’t really see myself going back. Nothing I’ve tried comes close. And this is coming from someone that hates subscriptions and self host pretty much everything.
