For those looking for some Google alternatives:

  • Qwant has a custom indexing strategy and is okay
  • Brave Search ~uses Google and Bing~ EDIT: they use a custom index too
  • Startpage uses Google and Bing and it’s prettier than Brave IMO
  • SearX is ugly but has a lot of sources
  • Perplexity AI tracks the shit out of you but it’s decent
  • Kagi is customizable but it costs you

Feel free to add on any I missed or opinions on these; I haven’t used any extensively

EDIT: Ecosia for trees and DDG for Bing without ads

Brave Search does not use Google and Bing. And why did you skip over DDG?

I’ve updated the post to say that in Brave uses a custom index. I skipped DuckDuckGo because it only uses Bing :(
