LET’S SEE HOW GOOGLE LIKES BEING DELETED!
I’ve switched my default search and homepage start, so should you.
You have three really good options:
Bing -- www.bing.com
Yahoo! -- www.yahoo.com
DuckDuckGo -- www.duckduckgo.com
I’ve been testing all three for months in prep for this day. My selection should not influence yours. I won’t tell you, because I use them all randomly.
DuckDuckGo has active filtration, but it’s largely around pr0n. So if you’re looking for that, go elsewhere. Yes, I was extensive in my testing. I’m uncertain of what engine they’re using, because it awfully feels like Google on the backend... but if that’s the case then it’s just hooking their API. If you want to wean yourself off Google but are afraid of missing out on your favorite rando typing -- this is a good step down the road to admitting you’re a Googleholic.
Yahoo! is just as you remember it, if not better. Performing searches results in unbiased results being quickly returned. You pick your path, it doesn’t care and it doesn’t tailor you to consistently travel that same road. This ensures you won’t find yourself in an echo chamber and can actually think for yourself! Key point to mention, they have SJWs working there because it’s San Hoe in the Bay Area, my point is referring to their search engine being neutral. Their news also tries to pull from different viewpoints. Their SJWs apparently demanded to have a page or two for their own pickle tickle...
Bing has undergone some consistent effort to remain neutral as well, however, the tailoring pushes you back from your path. This is opposite of Google, where it pushes you further down the path. Bing is not to be confused with MSNBC. Bing doesn’t care what you want to look for, as long as it’s legal.
