  1. Don't use Google.

  2. Learn how to search the internet, its not hard.

  3. Adblock is your friend.

  4. People will stop using it only when it becomes unbearable. Their own business tbh.

Reddit is still one of the best place to find answers by real people because of the disappearance of traditional forums.

What search engines you suggest? Duckduckgo is useless for me, but so is google nowadays tbh.

Try Searx. It is a free, open source metasearch engine so it gets results from other engines. Albeit much more privately than accessing those services directly.

I like startpage. It's not perfect but works. If I still cant find anything I search google. 95% of the time it just works.

@Stijn @krevassi, Startpage is probably one of the best search engines, I used it among others as second of my list, but for first searches I use 2 AI search engines which show me direct answers to complex questions.
https://andisearch.com
https://www.perplexity.ai
and sometimes also
https://you.com

All of these protect privacy and made by small independent startups

I’ve replaced probably 70% of my searching with ChatGPT.
