I use duck duck go. IIRC, it’s based on bing. It’s better.

I also use perplexity though. It’s very useful.

Check out Ecosia. It’s the same thing, but your searches plant trees in a responsible manner.

I have. Duck duck is more reliable.

Will try again tho. I like trees.

In my use case, my privacy is already compromised from using mainstream tech, also cached pages are kinda a big deal.

Oh indeed!

I use the web archives addon for Firefox. Love that guy. 1 click and you get access to 8 different places to view the current page on.
