It's not as good as google was when I was first allowed to use the internet 15+ years ago, but much better than today's google. Just so much more peace of mind to know that profit isn't what governs my search results.

It still kinda does, since it's Bing under the hood.
:(
kagi still owns both of them. but there's also startpage and leta which are google wrappers if you don't want to use Google directly
For me they are even better than Google. But I use Qwant now.
I use Kagi, I really like how it's AI answer gives sources for statements.
I love DDG AI
Yeah, I trust DuckDuckGo. And I like they anonymize my AI queries. I feel like itβs the next best thing to running it locally.
Does their 'anonymizing queries' feat mean anything if they don't disclose how it works or what that even means literally?
At least with the open source models the data is not sent to the big bad tech cooperations afaik
