SearXNG solves this (and many other problems)
Startpage.com does not
I mean on the list of reasons not to use Google, I feel like this one is pretty low.
i would guess that people that deactivate js are fine not using google for search
This breaks things like Whoogle that used the JavaScript-less api to pull search results.
I wish they would fix the bug where I can’t click “images” with js disabled
Thank you dgg

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.

I use Kagi, it’s great (great results, no ads, no tracking, a lot of clever filtering tools) but it’s paid. Free, I would use Brave Search but I doesn’t give me as good results as Kagi.
Edit: added links.
Typo in your link (but not in the text). https://searx.space
Thx, fixed
What’s the best alternative to Google these days?
I think that’s like asking what’s the best alternative to bread.
You know right best alternative to bread is plane cake ingredients are identical but process is different thats all
Not really. I haven’t used Google Search in close to a decade.
The bread has mold and there’s weird stuff growing all over it.
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
The what page
Startpage, it’s an alternative search. But it’s not without its own problems.
