i would guess that people that deactivate js are fine not using google for search
True. I am one of those. I just use duckduckgo or swisscows or brave search.
This coincides with Google search getting worse and now including the AI slop.
What's the best alternative to Google these days?
I use SearxNG, found a good, reliable instance that is close to my location.
Why it is important to use alternative metadata fetcher like searxng
Luckily, as of today I can still set my user agent to something like a Playstation or ancient firefox/IE to get a lightweight HTML-based page. The results are in www.google.com/url?q= format but I can use a redirector extension for that.
Better abandon google search for something else at this point. Even if alternative search engine calls bing and google, at least they take this BS out of the way
you're right, but startpage is slower than lightweight google :p
Startpage, it's an alternative search. But it's not without its own problems.
