I live in a country which uses a language I don’t speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

    I use DuckDuckGo. When I first heard about it, I tried it for a bit, found that it didn’t really give good results, and switched back to Google. Some years later I found that Google also stopped giving good results, so I figured that if my search results just aren’t going to be good, I’ll at least switch away from Google.

      Same, and now most of the cases the results from DDG are better than Google. Sometimes I end using !g - but it’s fraction of my searches.
