I somewhat impulsively picked a new search engine last night after reading about how Google deliberately worsened their search results to cause repeat searching thereby increasing total searches and thereby ad revenue.

In the past I have used Ecosia and Bing for a few months after getting frustrated with the SEO slop Google was feeding me, but ultimately switched back to Google for reasons I can't even remember. I do not care about privacy in searching. If anything, I actually enjoy the targeted ads I get from being tracked.

Last night I switched to Qwant after 5 minutes of reading about my options, and liking the results in a few test searches. Prior to last night, I never even heard of Qwant.

I will not bet on this market. I will collect the 100 bonus Mana for creating this market.

Do you anticipate trying Perplexity.ai before switching back to Google? It has a free version.

@WilliamGunn Sure. I'm happy to try suggestions that seem reasonable.

If you grow unhappy with Quant might you try another search engine like kagi before switching back to Google?

@AlexanderTheGreater despite how frivolously I spend mana, I would not spend actual money on a search engine. I also would not try anything that I have tried in the past and did not like, which includes DuckDuckGo in addition to the others I mentioned. I might try another one if Qwant fails me, but only if I could find something free that I haven't tried before and seems reasonable.
