I switched to Kagi. Sure I've to pay acouple of bucks, but I realized my time is worth more than trying to find stuff while trying not to fall into the seo rabbit hole or Pinterest hellscape.
More than a couple, the cheapest option is $5 a month. Is it really that much better?
You can try it for 100 searches for free. I think it is worth it. Included is a fastGPT thingy to help you with searches and development is transparent.
I guess Google is still usable with adblock, but since Kagi I used Google search like twice.
Thanks to Kagi I actually found interesing blogs as well. It also has FastGPT, which is like ChatGPT-lite. Smallweb search and a lot more.
For people who search a lot, and/or like to read interesting stuff, I think its worth it, albeit being pretty expensive at the moment.
I'm also very happy using Kagi. Feels like it is as good or better than Google used to be.
