I’d like to get back to using Google as my search engine. I tried DDG, Startpage, Qwant, even Searx and while they’re all pretty decent they all have their flaws, and unfortunaltely Google is still the most reliable. I use Firefox (Floorp) and i’ve found out an extension called Google Container. I have my VPN always on and Google always slaps me with that fucking captcha when i start a new session (i reset cookies and stuff on closing). Does keeping Google in the exceptions on closing (keeping data and stuff) and opening it in a container make sense?
I checked Kagi and i was very curious but 5$ a month?? For a search engine? For a limited number of searches?
I really don’t care to pay for a search engine that’s private, good results, no AI garbage results or reddit results….but you can say that you get what you pay for really…
It’s an insignificant amount of money considering some people spend a lot more than that in a day on a take away coffee….
