My workflow (return on success):

1. DDG

2. Google

3. Whichever LLM is closest at hand

4. This is information the world was not meant to know

Brave Search is actually better than DDG these days. Kagi is supreme though

(Also Marginalia for deep search)

First time I heard about Marginalia, I'll check it out.

Isn't Kagi basically Brave search?

[–] iamnothere 2 days ago

No? Different features, different indices, Brave Search is free/ad supported. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/kagi-vs-brave.html

I used to use Google as a fallback from DDG. I haven't had to do that in a long time; now, the only time I use Google is for the specific answer "what does Google return for this".

The only thing I use Google for anymore is reverse image search.
