DuckDuckGo
You are foolish for not using that by now.
And yes, DDG is Bing results, we know.
Happy Kagi user here
Maybe “naïve” or “ill informed”. “Foolish” is pretty harsh.
Foolish is accurate.
Anyone supporting Google, Meta, Musk, Anthropic, Amazon, etc are fools.
The assumption of tech savvy around here is wild! Never been in another online space where people assume everyone is at a reasonable tech level.
I prefer Qwant. Better results, especially when searching in other languages than English.
Except the results suck, and the results are the entire purpose
Don’t be Evil…be nice to those quarterly reports.
Good, keep shooting your self.
Schools all across the world are rejecting AI, this will open the road for alternative search engines.Another commenter said that the IT admin would simply change the search engine behind the omnibar. Easy money and nothing really changes except the kids betting better search results.
Kids shouldn’t gamble.
Search should be a public utility at this point.
But then again I don’t know how you’d neutrally maintain a search algorithm.
Regardless, depending on a private company for something so fundamental to societal functions seems bad.
the way it worked originally, pagerank. SEO, will never cease sadly; goodhart’s law n all, but it’s better than what we have now
You want the government running search?! That’s an absolute horror show; you see the impossibility of neutrality.
Here in Florida, “homosexual teen” would lead to sites about conversion camps. We might just score a Democrat in the governor’s mansion today, so that would change. And then change again. Imagine the non-stop public fight over what is and is not appropriate to show in a search. AH! (I’m actually having a giggle thinking about such fighting. “Trannie” would lead to results about transmissions one year, a transexual slur the next, banned altogether the next.)
google: ai summaries are hurting our advertisement revenue
also google: we’ll block you if you reject our ai
As someone else pointed out, the IT admin will just change the search engine behind the omnibar. Speaking as a sysadmin, I wouldn’t put up with a broken search bar, I’d simply fix it. Hell, even consumers have the power to change it in Chrome!
Google and Republicans want stupid easy-to-control kids who grow up into stupid easy-to-control adults that can’t think for themselves.

DuckDuckGo and Startpage are the way
Had to switch to DDG on my phone. I rarely browse the internet that way, but when I was sitting in my flea market booth the ads were fucking unbearable.
I’m gonna forward this article to DuckDuckGo and Kagi. I imagine they could help the school district do what Google can’t.
They really think they still have that much leverage, do they?
You promise?
Really sucks that there are no other search engines to use.
“Be Evil”
To me the title reads as, “Allow us to abuse you or we wont let you be abused by us”.
In other words the best solution is to reject both anyway, Fuck ai.
Make it so anyone can turn it off 🙏
