'Yandex is better than Google nowadays.'

I also find x is better than y for some things. I switched to DDG a couple of years and seldom have to revert to Google but, to be fair, results tend to be about the same for most queries, save a few nuances.

Kagi are getting a lot of love around here, likely because they block a few annoying domains and boost some others.

The real problem is the quality of free to access sites generally available and this is a problem that's not so simple to solve.
