    I don’t need a 27-page novel to know the temperature and time to cook something. I also don’t want to he directed to Pintrest and be required to have an account. Honestly, I’ve started using Bing more often.

      Yeah honestly. The Google ad-based search system created a set of incentives that just destroyed the internet! I miss the days when people created their own fun little quirky websites like Ian’s Shoelace Site. That used to be every site on the internet!

      Try Brave Search, Duckduckgo, Startpage, or Searxng. For more detail on these recommendation (that I definitely did not just steal), check out the Privacy Guides page, or The New Oil for a different, albeit overlapping, set of recommendations and take on search engines.

          DuckDuckGo has recently become a not very useful search engine too, it still has way way better queries than Google though.

          Going back usually shuffles the search results and after like 5 results there’s just a bunch of random entries based on your geolocation.

      The Google habit is hit the third link, scroll to fourth paragraph, your answer should be around there somewhere.
