    I swear I’m going to capture screenshots of 2-3 dozen searches across DDG & Google, as well as hopefully Bing, Startpage… SearXNG…

    b/c DDG is doodoo while corporate overlord Google is great with Ublock Origin.

    Faithfully perform every search on DDG first in the hopes I can keep the data out of Google’s hands! But !g out half the time.

    Anybody know of a site, app, or TamperMonkey script that’ll search multiple search engines side-by-side?

    In the meantime, one example w/a direct quote from deep inside a Harry Potter book:

      Genuinely, thank you for going through the trouble. I know it’s a huge ask, especially because it’s not easy to retroactively remember a specific type of search you were struggling with on one engine versus the other.

      *Insert joke about how Google is the woke search engine here*

        Not entirely true, they have their own index they use to augment/modify the results with. Like the paper linked in this very post shows, actually.
