I currently use Startpage, but i’m wary of their Vanish AI. Or at least tired of seeing ads for it. I use Wiby and Marginalia already, but their indexes aren’t really broad enough for much of what i need.

I figure this is a good place to ask because nobody here is going to recommend anything with an Al overview or other such crap.

Looking at my browser history, what i search for is technical problems with Linux, linguistics, games i play, CAD, fonts, recipes, typography, all sorts of stuff. Hence the desire for a general purpose search engine.

So what do you folks use? Is it just noai.duckduckgo.com for everyone?

      Fourthed. I’m a rotten cheapskate who pirates movies and wears thrift store clothes and mooches meals from friends, but I pay for Kagi and it’s worth more than the price.
