I defaulted to DDG now. It has been working just fine. Every now and then I can’t find something and I will append a “!g” at the end of the search in DDG to get Google results.
I will use Yandex when searching for more copyright infringing content which works very well too.
That has me 100% covered. If I were to lose Google I would still be 98% covered.
I have been using copilot inside VSCode for about a month. That thing is useful. It really does cut back on programming time. The help you get from this thing, although not 100% accurate, is mostly accurate enough to get you unstuck and keep moving. It is really useful. I have paid 1 monthl at 10$US. It is totally worth it for me and my usage.
I really hope I don’t have to start paying twice as much for the same experience.
