I stopped using Google years ago. I started using Bing but had to stop that as it would divert me to MSN to sign in when clicking a link for a news article. Like a news article for The Independent or The Times or any other.
I then started using DuckDuckGo which is powered by Bing, but found it wasn’t great at many searches.
I now use Arc Search most of the time and click browse for me to get the information I want without the bullshit. Search is essentially dead due to greed.
this is the first i hear of Arc, is it available as an iOS app only?
Seems to only have an iOS app right now. There is a desktop version for Windows and MacOS Here.
It is annoying that it wants to send you the download link by email though.
Edit: Here is an example of how the results look when asking for opening times of a book store in my city.
That looks clean, thanks for posting the screenshot!
Anytime. This is what search should be. You shouldn’t have to click into links for such simple information.
