I’d like to get back to using Google as my search engine. I tried DDG, Startpage, Qwant, even Searx and while they’re all pretty decent they all have their flaws, and unfortunaltely Google is still the most reliable. I use Firefox (Floorp) and i’ve found out an extension called Google Container. I have my VPN always on and Google always slaps me with that fucking captcha when i start a new session (i reset cookies and stuff on closing). Does keeping Google in the exceptions on closing (keeping data and stuff) and opening it in a container make sense?

    I am currently testing Kagi (they have a free tier limited to 100 search queries) and it’s the BEST.

    I haven’t seen garbage AI or Reddit results in two days and actually find what I am looking for….

    Going back to Google? - never, I’ll pay to use Kagi rather than subject myself to Googles AI garbage now after only two days.

      I checked Kagi and i was very curious but 5$ a month?? For a search engine? For a limited number of searches?
