Im getting so sick and tired of Google rn. Reddit has become a better place to search for questions than Google has. I need a new search engine :(

No, I don’t want Kagi either, I dont wanna to pay a subscription for a search engine just to get what I want. I tried all the others, Ecosia, Duckduckgo, etc… But they usually fall flat cus they just don’t have some of the quirks that Google has that I like, specifically when it comes to image search.

I want a browser I can easily adjust to, which is why I want it to function/look like google. Yes, I did try searching for it, but I’m not getting anything reliable (how typical)

Also, if anyone can recommend me a browser better than Opera GX that’s JUST as customizable as GX is, that’d be great too.

*Please don’t bully me over using GX. Everyone keeps yapping about it being Chinese Spyware or something or other, but the level of customization I can do with it is a total godsend. I don’t know any other browsers that let me have interactive wallpapers or keyboard sounds, let alone the silly screen filters! I like having complete personalization over my stuff, its fun for me.

    Why does everything gotta be subscription based tho!

    I just dont really wanna buy into that kinda stuff, even if it is good. Soon my ability to use the internet (not wifi) is gonna be subscription based :(

      Internet access is already subscription-based. I agree with your sentiment. I hate subscription based pricing. But for me, all the other search engines had become so annoying that I was constantly displeased throughout the day, instead of enjoying my time online. So I tried Kagi, and it was good enough to keep.
