Google Search as you know it is over - but there are alternatives (techcrunch.com)

Google is making its Search more centred around AI, turning it into a conversation.

Besides being a worse experience, the websites from which it sources its information are losing all traffic and recognition.

Recommend a list of alternatives:

Kagi - Paid but better experience than Google

Ecosia - Similar experience while supporting a good cause

Qwant - Increasingly unique results and building a EU-first index

DuckDuckGo - Privacy-focused search, but quality of results may vary

A companion read to this article, where the blogger went to the same conference, "google I/O", and then went on the one dedicated to advertisers (same place, just de day after), "Marketing Live". Hang on to something solid, it's bad. Like, really.
