Since DuckDuckGo has decided to regionalize all my search results even when no region is selected (why?!? 😩),

Making my work impossible (I don't spend my day writing about Canada DuckDuckGo! 🙄),

I have started to use @Mojeek and I must say that it is a real joy. I find what I'm looking for much quicker, no patronizing regionalization based on IP, and no AI pollution. It feels like I found back the 2010s web and I'm here for it.

Thank you Mojeek 💚

@Em0nM4stodon Nice!

I've testes Kagi a little bit, which was also a nice pleasant surprise. But requires a sign-up and subscription when you start using it for real.

Will check out @Mojeek as well as @MetaGer ... I really feel the need something else than DDG (noai works but still meh).

I think would really prefer a reasonably priced subscription from a non-profit org hosting a good search engine with full, verifiable transparency.

These days I can't help distrusting all these free search engines with poor transparency - am I a product when I use them?
