I felt like they were very similar in my very anecdotal, and only a few months each experience with them.
These days I am using Ecosia, as it has similar still search, like the others it also claims not to sell my search and personal info, and supposedly they plant more trees / do more environmental stuff if more people use Ecosia, so I figured why not.
Seems fine so far.
Damn. That’s creepy. Have you considered using alternative search engines? Startpage? Kagi? DDG?
Oh, I just went “full 5 bucks a month” into Kagi - it is great, I haven’t used a useful (non-ai-first) websearch for a while
How does Startpage compare to DDG?
Looks nicer, has a significantly easier to recommend name. “You want me to do what with a duck?” Startpage’s name is more intuitive.
Is there any difference in the quality of the search results?
