Im getting so sick and tired of Google rn. Reddit has become a better place to search for questions than Google has. I need a new search engine :(

No, I don’t want Kagi either, I dont wanna to pay a subscription for a search engine just to get what I want. I tried all the others, Ecosia, Duckduckgo, etc… But they usually fall flat cus they just don’t have some of the quirks that Google has that I like, specifically when it comes to image search.

I want a browser I can easily adjust to, which is why I want it to function/look like google. Yes, I did try searching for it, but I’m not getting anything reliable (how typical)

Also, if anyone can recommend me a browser better than Opera GX that’s JUST as customizable as GX is, that’d be great too.

*Please don’t bully me over using GX. Everyone keeps yapping about it being Chinese Spyware or something or other, but the level of customization I can do with it is a total godsend. I don’t know any other browsers that let me have interactive wallpapers or keyboard sounds, let alone the silly screen filters! I like having complete personalization over my stuff, its fun for me.

    Tbh… DDG in my opinion gives me way too much porn when it comes to image searching. And sure I could just turn on safe search, but I dont wanna do that and fear it may hide some images that aren’t porn that I’d maybe wanna see

      that-how? duckduckgo gives you more porn than other search engines? what are you searching for?

      are you searching terms on the edge or something?

      I don’t have safe search on, use it. search function daily and I’ve never had an accidental porn return, or at least so rarely that I can’t remember it happening.

      this is a phenomenon worth looking into.

          huh, I’m surprised DDG can’t help you there, I find their image search pretty accurate.

          also, I just checked, there are lots of shirtless fictional men. are you searching for one in particular that nobody has made appropriate fan art for you yet?

          best of luck.
