Computer Affairs / Alternative search engines

Last post by garbon - December 28, 2025, 04:34:05 PM

I have been getting annoyed with Google lately as it covers its search results with ai summaries (the overview and those similar question drop downs with ai summary).

It used to be great but feels like I need to scroll past more things to find answers.

That got me thinking as to whether there are any viable alternatives. Today I've started trying qwant which has some odd add results at top (searching pugs told me to shop for pugs on Amazon) but results after that were cleaner.

Any others that you have tried/regularly use?

A bad crepe is better than a bad pancake, but a good pancake is better than a good crepe.

It's just stupid food gate keeping, anyway.

I make crepes for breakfast every Sunday. My kids have them with Nutella, my GF with peanut butter and I like sliced ham. All drenched in maple syrup.

Huh, looked her up. Didn't realize she went full blown racist kook. Thought she was just a run of the mill bitter old actress.

One of the worst person in the French film industry.

Better or worse than Gérard Depardieu?

They are the same. They defend eachother, are both racist, antisemitic and white supremacist.

What made it unwatchable for you?

Characters and events so ridiculous that I had no desire to know more about them.

The events at the beginning of the movie are based on events that did occur (and carried out by the Weatherman Underground) but it is a bit disorienting because the movie replaces the war in Vietnam with opposition to the current US government.
