#132I append the word "reddit" to most non-technical google searches. Platform has been around long enough that _someone_ on it has discussed the issue I'm looking for
When you think about it, adding "reddit" is a kind of counterpart mechanism to the rise of AI and generated content in a general sense. There's a real thirst for answers coming from real, genuine people, and adding "reddit" is the last resort we have to maximize the likelihood of it.
I believe there's likely a lot of AI and generated content there too.

#133Bing. I guess.

#134Earlier quoted context omitted.
site:old.reddit.com FTW! :-D edit: its a joke..it would save me manually changing the url, cuz I'm too lazy to install the plugin to auto-change it for me.
Ever since Firefox from Android removed the ability to install any extension, I now have to edit it manually every f***ing time. Surely someone who works on Firefox for Android is reading this, please add that extension back!

It's much better than trying to use any version of reddit in the mobile browser.

#135Duckduckgo. Not because the search is good, but because it works behind any proxy. Google's captcha bullshit is not worth the mediocre results.

#136I usually read Rahter Labs' blog: https://www.ratherlabs.com/blog (specially if you like Blockchain technology)
Quit spamming Rather Labs. It has zero relevance here.

Yep. I started getting captchas on every Google search, not sure if it was due to iCloud private relay or WARP. I’d rather spend a bit more time tweaking DDG than completing a captcha.

#138yandex.com I usually search for books, movies and mp3s. With Google is kinda hard (or impossible) to do the same.
Yandex has become my first choice to search for articles and documents outside of academic journal articles. The results are better curated than Google and often shows things Google misses, especially with unpublished documents.

#139Kagi.com is pretty good. It's like how Goofle used to work. I'm saving my free searches on it. May pay for it eventually.
A curated search like the original Yahoo! would be nice. Goofle hides a lot of my preferred sources.

#140I've mostly reverted to 90s-style browsing: there are some sites that I check regularly, and I'll follow outbound links if the title seems interesting.
