I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.
I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!
I personally enjoy marginalia search and duckduckgo lite. I never enjoyed/appreciated the current search engine market with all generative AI enshitification. Marginalia search is similar to a database, where you have a limited number of keywords to get a decent search, they also offers filters if you dont want websites with JS and much more. duckduckgo lite is similar to this, but instead of having a specific tab to find website domains, it has it built in the search engine functionality.
I can use marginalia as default search for Firefox!
Yea that’s what I’ve done as well, I do enjoy it.
Someone posted Narrow32 on lemmy then when I was trying it out I discovered Duckduckgo lite. Now it’s my default search. Brings me back to when Google was a search engine.
Hadn’t heard of Marginalia search. Will look to include that on the website :)
Pretty small development team. I’m hoping over my break I can contribute.
