The best search engine for my money is kagi. It’s $5 a month but there’s no ads, I get to block pinterest and I downranked fandom wikis. There’s even a fediverse filter.

I moved to Startpage.

It is good for answering simple questions. It isn’t a search engine its more of an answers engine wherby you ask something and it will do the search and procure the answer from the results. It works well most of the time however like all AI it hulicinates so if you ask it something too complex it isnt very good.

I didn’t read this article but yes. I’ve basically stopped using search engines altogether now and use Perplexity. It’s nice to be able to say “that didn’t work, here’s the error” and “double check your work because this is important” and it just…does it. It’s not perfect but it’s miles better than googling up that 5 year old Stack Overflow post with your exact question and zero answers.

Wot? Perplexity ai, that app that I have on my phone and that I sometimes ask random things when I want to be angry at something and that gives entirely useless and wrong answers 95% of the time? lollmaoeven
