I’ve used Google since 2004. I stopped using it this year because as the parent comment points out, it’s all marketing and AI. I like Qwant but it’s not perfect but it functions like a previous version of Google.

I have tried a few replacements for Google but I've yet to find anything remotely as effective for searches about things close to me. Like if I'm looking for a restaurant near me, kagi, startpage, and DDG are not good. Is qwant good for a use case like that? Haven't heard about it before.

I’ve had some success but it goes off of your ISPs server location so for me it’s not very useful.

I have not enjoyed Qwant - tried it as my default but I'm back to DDG. I just want a functional Google again (boolean operators please...)
