Sometimes I have to use somebody else's laptop, for some reason or other I end up searching for something. I think, why are these results so crap?

I notice google/bing and quickly kick in my muscle memory built up over the years to type duckduckgo.com and do another search.

After this I still am confused why the results are so crap. Then I notice the duck laughing at me and think... shouldnt this be a dog?

And then I start feeling bad for the original user of the device and tell them to do the search themselves and let me know when they get a result

Just to say: the search engine frog has long been boilt and it is amazing what crap people have to put up with when searching for anything. How jarring the experience of seeing TV commercials is after years of Kodi, is how the experience is of moving back to an ad-supported search engine after now months of Kagi.

Youtube doesn’t show ads in my country. Anytime I use a vpn or I travel, I can’t believe how bad the free tier is. My twitch consumption has gone way down because of the ads. Watching the last NBA season was so annoying. I felt more than half of the broadcast was ads.
