It's not a secret that Google isn't the apple of our eye (there's a reason why we don't make any money from search deals with them) but yesterday's announcement about the changes coming to Google Search are plain depressing for the web as we know it. What started as a joke (the famous "It's not AI" video with @jon), is starting to feel dystopian at this point.

Anyway. Swimming against the current is exhausting, but the fight for a better web is more important than ever. And as long as there’s people willing to take the fight, there’s hope. 🔥 So we'll keep resisting: no opt-in, no opt-out, no nonsense. ✊

@Vivaldi @jon Switched to DDG and Qwant, months ago, and haven't looked back.
@gre @Vivaldi @jon Ddg? Im using qwant too but never heard of ddg. Qwant is pretty neat. As far as I know they don't have problematic policies. If something, they have AI but you can disable it (i think completely)
But heck, even ecosia has ai so...
@FrutigerAero00 @Vivaldi @jon I switch over to Duck Duck Go when Qwant tries to tell me that the rest of the search results aren't relevant.
@gre @Vivaldi @jon Aaaaa duck duck goo... It hasnt been long since i switched to qwant because boicot america reasons. But it was a real good browser.
@FrutigerAero00 @Vivaldi @jon I can certainly understand wanting to boycott anything from this benighted land.
