Google's results have been getting worse over time, but it seems like the last couple years, they've taken a steep nose-dive, completely overrun with crappy content farming.

I've mitigated a lot of that by doing searches for any kind of product comparison or technical question with "site:reddit.com", but now with the possibility that that trick will become less useful over time as well...?

Yeah. What search engines are other tech folks using?

I use DuckDuckgo through Firefox. It's great and there are good extensions for extra safety. Also, Firefox deskopt is so customizable, i got a neon cityscape design for the bar!

Same here. I honestly didn't notice a big difference between google and DDG when I switched. I generally found what I was looking for back then and I do now too.
