    I think Google peaked about 6-8 years ago now and then started slipping at an ever accelerating rate.

    It’s almost useless for me when searching anything remotely technical or otherwise niche.

    I almost consistently need to go to the second page of results now, something I don’t remember doing since like 2009.

    I find Bing acceptable. Brave search works well. But I’m actually using Kagi now since I’m hoping their paid model will actually mean I’m not the product.

      duckduckgo is my go to now, but not out of lack of usability. haven’t used google for ~4-5 years for privacy concerns
