Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

when one needs to launch a search on the internet, the most common tool they have at hand is google. I do the same too. (hear-me.social)

@casualconversation when one needs to launch a search on the internet, the most common tool they have at hand is google. I do the same too.

However, l've begun to find it shallow and restrictive.

Better suggestions anyone ??😃😃😃

For a few years I was a happy (paying) Kagi customer and like mentioned in other comments already, for me there was no going back: it works great, it's bloat free with even a focus on small web, and a lot of cool features. Then, the new US President arrived with his team and their shitty politics. As a EU citizen I could not trust US services anymore and I was not willing to send them money either...

I went back to the French Qwant. It's far from being perfect (they're working on their own index but so far I think they still use Microsoft's Bing), at least it protects my privacy from Microsoft's (and it works fine).

Would I be US citizen, I would happily keep paying for Kagi. It's really good. Much better than anything else, imho.
