TIL that cubicle is an adjective and a noun. I was calling things "cube like" until now

Oh, the spelling difference got me. Thank you!

For those looking for some Google alternatives:

  • Qwant has a custom indexing strategy and is okay
  • Brave Search uses Google and Bing EDIT: they use a custom index too
  • Startpage uses Google and Bing and it’s prettier than Brave IMO
  • SearX is ugly but has a lot of sources
  • Perplexity AI tracks the shit out of you but it’s decent
  • Kagi is customizable but it costs you

Feel free to add on any I missed or opinions on these; I haven’t used any extensively

EDIT: Ecosia for trees and DDG for Bing without ads

Added!

I’ve had similar sentiment from other users! I’m inclined to give it a shot

I’ve updated the post to say that in Brave uses a custom index. I skipped DuckDuckGo because it only uses Bing :(

Added! I love the mission

Thank you for the corrections! I’ve updated the post. I agree that Brave search had the best results/UX. As you mentioned, I have my own moral qualms with brave as a company.

When the poor have nothing to eat, they’ll eat the rich. Rich cake flesh is tastier than rich human flesh

EDIT: spelling a word
