Hello, how are you guys?
As the title says, what search Ingine are you currently using? I used DuckDuckGo for years, and just recently switched to Brave.
Also, what do you think about the Brave Browser? I have been using FireFox since forever.
Thank you for reading.
so what you’re saying is use SearXNG
@eya Kind of. But all engines have their own unique features too
Google/Startpage has quick snippets
Brave has Toggles. Duckduckgo has bangs
Baidu/Yandex/Naver has immense localisation
Bing has OpenAI
Under competition, companies will innovate. Thats what this is. Forcing Google to innovate
For that we’ve to support them all. meta engines are good for what they are. But it cant have those extra features. Search isnt only about the results. Like how YouTube isnt *just* about the video
Google doesn’t need to innovate when they have almost a 65% market share. They could implement malware into the browser and people would still use it.
@eya exactly but they werent always like that.
Google’s like Microsoft now. The very company they destroyed both in so many key markets. They were innovative.
Its the 97% search share and 70% Browser share thats the problem.
How Google, an AI company for over a decade, got so shock by newcomer OpenAI? Out of box thinking. What google itself used to be about
Thats what we need. Competition. Not anti trust trials or regulations. But prodcuts like chatgpt & Brave to make big companies innovate
