    I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.

    I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.

    It’s also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:

        In my experience, I always get much better Searx results by changing the language to the relevant one (and disable SafeSearch). However, between instances, it varies which search sources they include (Google, Bing, DDG etc.). After trying multiple, I’ve found a few instances that generally get me the results I’m looking for.

        E.g. if searching for, let’s say, something German, my URL would contain this:

        /search?q=cannabis+legal&language=de&safesearch=0
