It's not a secret that Google isn't the apple of our eye (there's a reason why we don't make any money from search deals with them) but yesterday's announcement about the changes coming to Google Search are plain depressing for the web as we know it.

Try Startpage or Mojeek.

That essentially search results from Google search will be replaced by an AI "conversation".

What started as a joke (the famous "It's not AI" video with @jon), is starting to feel dystopian at this point.
Anyway. Swimming against the current is exhausting, but the fight for a better web is more important than ever. And as long as there’s people willing to take the fight, there’s hope.
So we'll keep resisting: no opt-in, no opt-out, no nonsense.

@frobisher @Vivaldi @jon Unless I've missed something awful about Startpage (entirely possible as we approach Peak Enshittification so quickly) they seem ok

you can use duckduckgo without AI
DuckDuckGo - Protection. Privacy. Peace of mind.
The Internet privacy company that empowers you to seamlessly take control of your personal information online, without any tradeoffs.
DuckDuckGo (noai.duckduckgo.com)
Unless you are on McDonald's WiFi. I've found they block the no AI version 🤬

@FrutigerAero00 @Vivaldi @jon I switch over to Duck Duck Go when Qwant tries to tell me that the rest of the search results aren't relevant.
