Besides YouTube, Maps is one of the very remaining reasons I visit The Google's domains. For some reason I'm not entirely sure about, besides the inherent difficulties involved, there seems to be no serious competition in that space. Sure, we can get basic maps and directions from other services, but what about things like time estimates and street view?

Kagi is awesome otherwise, by the way. I'll keep saying it so more people hear about it.

DDG, on the other hand, has gone way downhill. I still sometimes use it if I am using a private browser window. It's flat out terrible. Even with safe search turned off, it's clearly been dumbed down to be PG-rated. It misses a lot of things it used to not. I don't get how they are going to stay solvent down the road without money being continuously set on fire.
