Alternate title: Google admits Reddit protests make it harder to find helpful search results
Google as a search engine is more or less dead. I was only really using Google to search reddit. Now that I’m done with reddit… There goes Google.
Google removing the “do no evil” from their ethos was a very clear indication of the direction they were heading.
What’s your preferred alternative? I use DuckDuckGo, and it’s… OK. I still often switch over to Google when I’m having a hard time finding relevant results on DDG.
It seems to depend on the type of search. For ordinary information, I’m using DuckDuckGo. For shopping, I go to Google, but the results aren’t great. I’m undecided for serious research.
