I liked duckduckgo a couple years ago before it started insisting on showing results in the language associated to my IP address. Since then I've liked brave a lot better.
Duckduckgo used to advertise that they were all about getting out of the filter bubble but they insist on throwing a bunch of irrelevant totally unrelated garbage in their search results based on my IP address. The service has really gone downhill and I can't even blame it on bing
I’ve been getting weird results for a while: somewhere around the end of the first page of results or beginning of the second I get results which have nothing to do with my queries. Instead they look as if someone entered geoip result for my ip address as text of the query. Maybe those are some LLM experiments and that’s part of the prompt now?
