I think I'm going to still use reddit to solve certain problems when googling. It's still a good resource for solving specific problems. Just won't spend any browsing time there. Just in an out.
Same here, Google has slowly become unusable for certain topics if you don't append "reddit" to your search.
I started using DuckDuckGo actively in 2014. It has since been my primary search engine. It used to be very similar to google: minimalist, an ad placed as the first search result and that’s it. DDG has stayed pretty much the same. The few times I now wander on google to try to get different results, I just find it so unusable. Search results are swimming in an ocean of suggested content… I’m never going back.
Brave Search is getting better as well. The browser is already pretty solid, I'm using it now.
I use brave on my phone. It autoblocks youtube ads, which is nice.
I do the same. It feels exactly the same, if not slightly better than, google search, now that search is so drowned in SEO spam anyways.
