    Honestly, I’ve been using it as my default research engine for a year and… I’m now manualy changing to Google everytime I’m REALLY searching for something.

    Qwant results are generaly several steps below.

      May as well just use DDG or Ecosia, then use the !g tag any time you want to hop back.

        Yeah I’ll try these for sure! Thanks for listing them here. I wasn’t aware of alternative search engines outside of DDG and Qwant.

        Once again it’s a shame i wasn’t aware of Neeva, would have loved to at least give it a try (and probably pay for it). :(

          Yeah same. Ecosia suits me a little more than DDG, both are backed by Bing, both have tags like !g, and while I don’t really care about the tree thing that Ecosia does I do like how they give you a choice of which maps to open and one of those is Google - DDG just loads Apple Maps.
