I don’t use Google very often anymore, more of a DuckDuckGo fan. However using ChatGPT has become my goto for quick howto stuff. A lot of web searches will load clickbait articles or dead end forums. Using GPT I often get a strait forward guide built for exactly what I need.
it’s amazing how much the web is full of clickbait and fake sites trying to just capture search result traffic. ironically, ChatGPT seems to make it even easier to make sites like that. 😭
I still use google. If I have a programming related query I use it normally. Otherwise I search for example “best cheap iems reddit” because Google has cannibalised itself by the means of SEO.
Not using Google search for many years. Never really used Bing. I use a mix of search engines for various purposes. Startpage is a proxy of Google minus sponsored ads and relatively intrusive spying. Searx is a metasearch for multiple engines. Reddit is an information goldmine if you know where to look. Yandex and Baidu have a lot of interesting hidden results and are out of Western countries’ jurisdiction which is a huge positive. Then there are darknets with their search pockets and information.
