Well, I switched to DDG after last time someone said it’s doing a much better job then Google’s now. So I’ve switched all my defaults to DDG. On the contrary, users don’t mind which search engine, as long as they give proper results efficiently.
I use Startpage. It’s anonymous like DDG, but uses Google on the back-end. Results feel more like old Google than the modern overly-personalized Google results
I’ve switched to paid search with Kagi. Best standard feature is I can tell Kagi to block w3schools, mediumDOTcom and stackoverflow from my search results.
My father was alive - and a smoker! - when the FDA issued its warning about the risks of smoking tobacco in the late 1950s.
He was still smoking four packs a day in the 1970s. He died young as a result.
Google’s statement is somewhat hyperbole in comparison to physical addiction. But Google is abusing their position and market dominance. Antitrust enforcement is warranted.
Huh, is this the start of a new post-platform era where we see such business models the way we now see cigarettes?

Google’s search result is honestly worse atm.

Hadn’t heard of it. Looks interesting, but it’s owned by a company that
as a “Responsive Acquisition Marketing Platform.”
That got a very big eyebrow raise from me.

I hope I could block pinterest
Absolutely doable.
It actually is a (little) better than Google now. I don’t think it’s better enough for people to change their habits, but it is better.
