MakeUseOf: These Results Illustrate Why Google Search Is So Awful in 2025. “If searching Google feels slower, messier, and less reliable than it used to, that’s because it is. Google’s results are now dominated by AI-generated text, aggressive ads, and SEO-optimized clutter, burying the trustworthy information you’re searching for.” SearchTweaks!.

I’ve tried DuckDuckGo for years and it was never good enough to replace Google. I’m here to tell you that it’s no longer the case. It’s a superior experience without the tracking, AI, and boot-licking. I highly encourage you to make the switch. Set it up as the default search engine on your phone and computer. #duckduckgo #websearch

I just added some search engine recommendations to the lists.d repo

For this initial version, there are some interesting contenders:

Mon nœud #yacy fait maintenant parti du grand réseaux décentralisé !!!
:ablobcool:

J’ai bataillé un peu avec ma box, mais finalement il suffisait d’ouvrir un port réseau.

J’aime beaucoup construire mon propre index à partir de flux RSS, de mes favoris, des partages ici où la !!!

Par contre j’ai encore du mal avec le tri des résultats qui parfois sont bien et parfois juste tellement random que ça en est drôle !!!! :rblobglare: :blobsmilehappyeyes:
