Honestly, switching over to SearXNG was the best choice I ever made. Not only do I not have to see this AI bullshit, but it’s so refreshing to not have to append “reddit” to the end of nearly every search I do to find anything even remotely useful.

It ain’t perfect, but the last time I felt like I discovered such a big improvement to using the Internet was when I found out about ad-blockers.
