The Japan Fair Trade Commission has accused the U.S. tech giant of violating the country's anti-monopoly law by forcing manufacturers to preinstall its apps in smartphones.
Ecosia for me. I still find myself asking Google for stock prices and such, but other than that it’s ok. Berlin based apparently, plus I like that they plant trees for every search you do. I don’t like that they have sponsored links at the top but I suppose that’s how it goes.
that’s awesome! this is the first time in decades that i’ve even heard the name of a search alternative. i’m from the hotbot days. do you know if or how much it’s rooted in google’s search? i know that’s wording it poorly, but i hope you still know what i’m asking
Yes. Backup everything and move away.
I’ve started using Qwant as my search engine and it’s not bad at all

Don’t they also use Bing search in the background?
Bing and / or Google (you can choose).
But their working together with QWANT on their own search engine.
And from a privacy perspective I’d argue, that it’s still better to use Ecosia / QWANT.
Thanks, I’ve switched as well.

Qwant uses Bing search results AFAIK.
Might as well use a SearX instance.
I heard they are working on their own search engine
