Google is way to compliant to DMCA request resulting in bad result. Bing doesnt seems to care and will happily link to live and replay of sport event (the main reason I use it personnaly) even as a first result.
PS : If you’re french dont forget to change your DNS or any quality site will not load
Or you can use duckduckgo that uses bings search index while protecting your privacy
I’ve been using DDG exclusively for years now and every now and then I feel it doesn’t give me what I seek and I try Google and it doesn’t find shit either.
People always say that Google results are still superior but I believe that’s only the case as long as you’re in the bubble they create based on your profile and you’re looking for your interests and like-minded opinions.
I found that Google is head and shoulders above DDG when it comes for my work searches. Technical stuff - like code errors, Oracle syntax, technical references, etc. I used DDG for a couple of months and had to switch back to Google because I literally wasn’t finding the results that I knew existed.
Waaaat?! That’s the first time I ever heard that. Usually people (including me) have the exact opposite experience. It’s insanely good for technical stuff.
DuckDuckGo has been harming people’s privacy for years now. Ironically in part because it allows Microsoft’s ad network through due to their partnership. Luckily there are many other alternatives out there.
Sharing is caring friend; offer some names so that we may benefit from your research.
Apologies, here’s some. Also plenty listed on https://alternativeto.net/software/google-search/

Ecosia
Qwant sends data to Bing ads, and didn’t tell its users about it for five years.
Yandex is a Russian company with strong government links that I wouldn’t trust in any way.
Didn’t realize. Removing those.
Ecosia, I’ve been using it a while now and they plant trees with there profit, I have personally covered the cost of planting 75 trees over the last couple years just be using it instead of Google. They have planted over 175mil trees and they are transparent with there finances.
