alt Hacker NewsWhat is sad is that we need anti-AI measures.
Google and others really ruined the web.
I also today tried Qwant and for the first time, in a long while, the results Qwant delivered were objectively better than from Google Search. What the heck is Google doing?

Inflating stock prices.
I've been using Kagi for several years and find it much better than Google. I've not been tempted to go back, like I always was with DuckDuckGo and others.
It seems like Qwant is ad supported[0], yet I don't see any ads in my first couple searches. I wonder if this is a, "the first hit is free", situation, or my ad blocker just took care of it. I do wonder how this will play out long-term.
Qwant did bring up a page when I tried the second search to make me slide something to verify I'm human. That was enough of an annoyance that I will stick with Kagi.
