I think Google is the Great Satan. Have been using Duck Duck Go for six months. I even found myself on there!

I searched a term I used yesterday on Google to compare across DuckDuckGo, Google, ChatGPT, and YouTube. I got much better results, but I only saw results from DuckDuckGo. Maybe this is telling me I should use DuckDuckGo more often. ??

Hey Samaara!

Thanks for trying it out. Your browser stopped the other search engines from opening up. Here's how to fix that: https://pau1.substack.com/p/how-to-open-in-a-new-window

Thanks for the tag Paul! We (ok at least me) are so google-ized I don’t even recognize some of these. A lot of times I’ll scope Google to just Reddit for example so this is better and I’ll definitely check it out. AI search is a nice add; while I like using LLMs to get answers versus search results (and ads), I don’t like not knowing sources.

Thanks for the comment, Andrew!

I sometimes ask the Chatbots to give the citations for their answers to see the sources used. NotebookLM is great for giving the sources without asking.
