Is duckduckgo still a thing?

DuckDuckGo has been my go-to for years. I’ve been trying Kagi.com for the past week per nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka's suggestion. I’m liking it.

Altavista in 1998. Search is absolutely awful today

Have you tried kagi.com? I find their paid search approach very interesting

SearXNG has been pretty sweet, idk how enjoyable using public instances is though or their response times https://github.com/searxng/searxng

Yandex.com has been the best for by far. I almost always find what I'm looking for.

Presearch is the best I’ve found
