I just want to browse the web and see cool websites and discussions
And you can! ...after you view this message from our sponsors!
You know what I miss? I miss StumbleUpon, it turned up so many cool websites back in the early 2000's and actually seemed to be good at recommending sites based on categories you subscribed to. I may have been a bit of a power user as I ended up on the top stumblers list one or two times. Those were definitely some of the good days of the Internet.
Or when Google had competition so they didn't do the crap they do now.
I miss webrings.
It already sucks. Any time I use Google for anything, I have to hope there will be an entry beyond the 800 shopping links for products I wasn't interested in to begin with.
IMO it's biggest benefit is being above all of the SEO spam websites and just actually giving you the actual answer you wanted.
Honest question, what are you searching for on Google that it's not giving you what you wanted in the top few results? Every time I see Google search come up on kbin/lemmy, I just... don't have the same experiences as the commenters.
I would like to know what google will be searching and/or sharing to its 697 partners that value my privacy on my behalf.
Before any googling is done would be great.
Bro your search is legitimately worse than DDG now and you had how many billions and years in R&D advantage?
Their search can become better than DDG tomorrow just like it used to be a few years ago. All they need to do is rollback the enshitification patches. It's not a matter of R&D, it's a matter of the ad boss becoming the boss of search and optimizing it for ad revenue.
