I’d like to get back to using Google as my search engine. I tried DDG, Startpage, Qwant, even Searx and while they’re all pretty decent they all have their flaws, and unfortunaltely Google is still the most reliable. I use Firefox (Floorp) and i’ve found out an extension called Google Container. I have my VPN always on and Google always slaps me with that fucking captcha when i start a new session (i reset cookies and stuff on closing). Does keeping Google in the exceptions on closing (keeping data and stuff) and opening it in a container make sense?
I’m not a data scientist, but everything I have read says that their AI powered fuckery is producing garbage results. I would love to see any comparisons you have documented.
