Google Search as you know it is over - but there are alternatives (techcrunch.com)

Google is making its Search more centred around AI, turning it into a conversation.

Besides being a worse experience, the websites from which it sources its information are losing all traffic and recognition.

Recommend a list of alternatives:

Kagi - Paid but better experience than Google

Ecosia - Similar experience while supporting a good cause

Qwant - Increasingly unique results and building a EU-first index

DuckDuckGo - Privacy-focused search, but quality of results may vary

Why will this kill startpage? I only just found it because it's the default for waterfox and I'm quite happy with it. DDG has been getting worse and worse

I started using Ecosia after noticing DDG's downward turn. So far I've enjoyed it. It has problems, but I think those problems are just what passes for the internet these days...

Startpage uses google search. I think they use the paid API service, the question is whether that service will continue after these changes.
