With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

Rumors of the web's death are greatly exaggerated. 😅

A question, though, that occurred to me with this Google search change and I was reminded about scanning over this article again: StartPage strips out the trackers from Google search results and offers those for its search results. What’s idea going to happen to it now that Google will effectively not offer any (clickable/reliable/not slop) search results?

I’m going to throw this onto a stand-alone post as well in case others have any insight.

There are a lot of alternatives there they will help you make a plan to pull away from Google services, and all the rest of them too.
