I agree. After testing the paid plan, have to say, it’s quite stupid to block a search because, guess what “you’re out of searches”. I don’t know how legitimate the statement is that they use bing for search, but this makes it malicious to charge users when they can just hit bing for free…

So I just settled with qwant for now and i’m okay with it so far. It returns good searches, what else do you want from a search engine. Not to mention, it’s free so you can’t burn through any limited search rates.

another proof that UN General Assembly is a complete joke.

Who the heck is putting those people on those seats? This is ridiculous.

it’s so smol

🙋🏻‍♂️was also a formed DuckDuckGo user and didn’t like the path they followed onboarding more AI slop, this game me some options

• qwant ( EU based, France)
• kagi (US based)
• SearXNG (meta search engine, it means it’s querying all the search engines anonymously)

So I tested kagi free, enjoyed it; then finally paid €5 / mo because I enjoyed the results it was returning; not to mention I can downgrade/upgrade sites to filter them out of my search.
