I don’t use Google directly, but as part of the open source meta search engine SearXNG, where we can specify what search engines it will use. And the top result is from Google and I can confirm that Plasma 6 for Arch is now officially been canceled. And it’s linked to Reddit. :smiley:

    I hopped on board the duck duckgo train a short while ago ( 6 months ). I’ve had no real issues with it except for one thing. If some event occurs and gains popularity very quickly ( within the span of a couple days ), it doesn’t really show up at the forefront of the search results.

    A decent example is when I was looking up the Willy’s Chocolate Factory event fiasco. I was specifically looking for images from the event to forward to my brother bc that entire event was hilarious. I had trouble with ducksuckgo. I fell back to Google image search for more ease of use.

        No doubt. It’s not much of a complaint, but rather an advisory. I still main duckduckgo of for no other reason than to avoid the mounting ads on Google

          I know there are some search engines that use Google’s search but add some privacy stuff to stop tracking. Maybe take a look at one of them?
