if you use an android phone:

1. get SIMPLE SEARCH
https://f-droid.org/packages/de.tobiasbielefeld.searchbar

2.set up your search engines:

noai.duckduckgo.com
startpage.com

3. if you are like me and search a lot for EDUCATIONAL info on crafting tools and fabrics but get a lot of SHOPPING links, create a specialized search excluding the big offenders:

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s -site:amazon.com -site:walmart.com -site:pinterest.com -site:ebay.com -site:alibaba.com -site:shein.com

enjoy your degoogled, deamazoned searches ☺

@blogdiva idk if they've already found a workaround, but Start Page being mostly an anonymised proxy for Google means they might have difficulty once Google rolls out their next major change to the website.

Well, crap. I just started using Start Page after Qwant started featuring AI crap. I had no idea SP was affiliated with Google. Now where do I go?

@Bette @blogdiva Not affiliated, more like piggybacking on Google. I personally rotate between SearXNG and noai.duckduckgo.com

@disorderlyf

Thanks! Even a piggyback is too close. Never heard of SearXNG, but I've now reinstituted noai dot duckduckgo.

@Bette @disorderlyf @blogdiva SearXNG is a meta search engine, so it’s still pulling data from the big search engines, but at least it anonymizes and aggregates search. You can try it out if you like here:
