As if Google is a charity or nonprofit or non-USA company!!
If a person is unhappy with Google and still stubbornly insists on using Google, the problem is not in tech, it is in the mindset!
There are SearX instances in EU such as Disroot. No excuse is left! I hate seeing left and right complaints from people about AI in Google and they keep using the same damn services!
As a side note, I happily am a paid customer of Kagi HQ (npub1zq5…dlp2) . The search is super great and AI is opt-in and on-demand
