@eya Kind of. But all engines have their own unique features too
Google/Startpage has quick snippets
Brave has Toggles. Duckduckgo has bangs
Baidu/Yandex/Naver has immense localisation
Bing has OpenAI
Under competition, companies will innovate. Thats what this is. Forcing Google to innovate
For that we've to support them all. meta engines are good for what they are. But it cant have those extra features. Search isnt only about the results. Like how YouTube isnt *just* about the video
@Sterben tho this post might not be doing so but still dont get why people like to compare and pick only 1 search engine to use forever
Just use all of them. Try all. Everyone has unique needs
Each company has differences in indexing. Tho the duck is Bing based, it chose to block "russian propaganda". For something as vast as the net, using 1 engine is like using only 1 eye to see the world
For a truly open perspective, use multiple! Only for convenience's of daily searches, maybe pick one
@eya exactly but they werent always like that.
Google's like Microsoft now. The very company they destroyed both in so many key markets. They were innovative.
Its the 97% search share and 70% Browser share thats the problem.
How Google, an AI company for over a decade, got so shock by newcomer OpenAI? Out of box thinking. What google itself used to be about
Thats what we need. Competition. Not anti trust trials or regulations. But prodcuts like chatgpt & Brave to make big companies innovate
