Google is bad, but people have no idea how bad search could actually get. Trying to find DPRK housing stats and DDG will only give me pages about recent canadian housing news.

I try dorking but I feel like googke just ignores that shit now or somethinf. Ill -reddit and it'll just show me more reddit, fuckin bastard google

Yeah, they either give back shit results or they'll trigger a captcha claiming suspicious activity. Google's just an advertising trap now, barely usable.

Same here. Kagi is a breath of fresh air and works as well as google used to work many years ago.

I stopped paying for Kagi because they kept blocking my VPNs.
