Use Mojeek

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What's mojeek?

[–] johnnybravo@lemm.ee 28 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Mojeek is the only search engine that's truly and absolutely free from the clutches of Big Tech.

The links are indexed from a crawler entirely built from the ground up, making it an alternative in the true sense.

Results are ranked based on input keywords alone.

No shady algorithmic manipulation.

No advertisements.

Also includes features like dark mode, location masking.

I've been using it for months. It's an absolute delight!

Why have I never heard of this before?

[–] johnnybravo@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because it's relatively new - just a year or two old.

They've actually been around for almost 20 years

Oh mama! 🤯 I've been living under the darkness of the googolcave for two decades!

Thank you JohnnyBravo! You a super cool guy! Just added this as a search engine in Firefox

[–] johnnybravo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

You're welcome! 😎

Whoa, mama!

Not totally true that its the only one, Brave search also has an indépendant index and (imo) works better.

There are many more, too, although the number of pages they index is widely variable. Here's a list.
