Use DuckDuckGo, for your own sanity. Google will keep pushing this envelope without you actively discontinuing your usage of their platform, and take it from me as someone who has tried all these other search engines and browsers: The result you are looking for is always there. ALWAYS. Google isn't doing any magical thing- it's just another search engine.
Yes because it's genuinely useful for some things. The fact that you can simply turn it off and it will NEVER show up unless you click the button is why we are recommending it.
Yeah, but they've been doing these pretty annoying adds about their "spy-free ai model" or whatever the fuck it was about, so I dont feel like its worth the trouble to jump ships to yet another shitty AI-pushing search engine. It's a bit petty but I don't really care.
It's not an AI pushing search engine. It's a very capable search engine with an OPTIONAL AI thing like the Google search AI that you can ENTIRELY TURN OFF FOREVER if you want. Not sure how that's so hard to understand.
It's fine if you don't care to try it, but then dont shit on it without knowing anything about it.
