Google is making its Search more centred around AI, turning it into a conversation.
Besides being a worse experience, the websites from which it sources its information are losing all traffic and recognition.
Recommend a list of alternatives:
- Kagi - Paid but better experience than Google
- Ecosia - Similar experience while supporting a good cause
- Qwant - Increasingly unique results and building a EU-first index
- DuckDuckGo - Privacy-focused search, but quality of results may vary

Why will this kill startpage? I only just found it because it’s the default for waterfox and I’m quite happy with it. DDG has been getting worse and worse
Startpage uses google search. I think they use the paid API service, the question is whether that service will continue after these changes.
