Well done. I used to love google but hate it now. Willing to switch to anything else.
Seems kind of pointless. The world is moving away from search engines towards generative AI. I also imagine all of this will be deployed on US-owned infrastructure like Azure, GCP, or AWS.
If it will be regulated aka censored into oblivion it will be a failed project from the start.
This is also what has been plaguing Google lately.
You don’t get the answers you want but the answers they want you to have. Of course it’s still not as dramatic yet, but we are getting there pretty fast.
A world of censorship for the plebs but not for those that own the information.
Edit: fully agree that Google more likely lobotomized itself.
If they want a market breakthrough they must offer what users want.
LOVE it, googles search results are shit today and full of ads. i will give ecosia a try. Seems much more cleaner like google 10 years before. even the maps results are better because google is hiding the plain maps function.
Very few search engines have their own indexes. The two big ones are Google and Bing, and there are maybe a couple smaller ones like Brave search. DuckDuckGo for example relies on Bing’s index and so did Ecosia. That’s because crawling and indexing the entire web is complicated and expensive.
So having an alternative search engine that wouldn’t rely on Bing or Google (both US corporations) for search would be quite good in many ways.
Down know about ecosia but Qwant is smoke and mirrors and not much else. They’re basically presenting outdated bing results when you use their search engine.
Parfait. J’utilise Qwant au quotidien mais c’est quand même triste que les algorithmes américains restent à la base de ces moteurs de recherche européens.
Bonne chance à Ecosia et Qwant !
Just announces, as always. It’s all worthless and won’t be used unless we ban American tech giant.
Good bye Google!
There’s one from Switzerland called Swisscows. Being hosted there means it’s not bound to EU rules either.
Martins Throborg’s Jubii fra 1995 ville ha været en rigtig god mulighed.
It will be operational in 2025 and available in both German and French.
What the fuck? I’m proud as they come of my frenchness but come on now, add English if you want a chance to get traction in terms of trafic
Just switched to ecosia a couple days ago. sometimes its a bit off but working ok so far.
We don’t need answers to stuff, we need new stuff that we invented.
Google can’t find shit. Theres just need for large enough search.
I want Europe to have our own dominant tech industry.
Very good
Unless I am mistaken, both Qwant and Ecosia are currently using Bing to get search results.
If they do plan on developing a whole separate search system that doesn’t depend on the Big Two, I will be very interested to see the outcome.
Personally, I use Duck Duck Go, which is also based on Bing (and allows routing search through Google and other specialized engines) and is very privacy-oriented. But, having just two “real” search engines is simply not healthy in the long run.
Only German and French? It’s 2025!!! Is this a joke? No wonder we use big tech from the US. I can use US tech in my own EU language. This is not Europe’s answer to Google, this is the reason people in the EU use Google.
I’ve been using Ecosia for over a year now, it’s great.
>It will be operational in 2025 and available in both German and French.
Ah yes… The “European alternative” that excludes most of Europe.
Great! I can’t wait to hear how this failed to gain popularity and users, and couldn’t be profitable.
duckduckgo already works in some instances than google as it is less aggressively monetized. I dont wanna dismiss the huge advantages that comes from google’s many integrated services, but we might be coming to an era where the main limiting factor to performance is the commercial trade-offs between user satisfaction and monetization rather than technical ability (at least in some use cases).
