1 year agoAt first it was both, couldn’t upvote on the browser or Jerboa. Since this afternoon though I haven’t been getting a timeout error on Jerboa.
Edit: nevermind it’s happening again. Maybe it’s happening due to server load?
DDG isn’t perfect by a long shot, but it’s still leagues better than google. I think SEO overall has taken a nosedive in recent years, especially with AI written content muddying the waters. Unfortunately I do not know of an alternative that’s better than either.
As a trucking dispatcher I have relied more on Bing Maps because they are more updated than Google maps sometimes. Google maps is almost impossible to search for a specific thing when you’re in a pinch, because there will be an ad for a competitor at the top of the list and you can easily be misled if you are in a rush. Happened to my bf a few weeks ago when he was searching for the closest UPS (near closing time) and inadvertently drove to a FedEx because it was the ad at the top of the search results. By the time he realized his mistake the UPS was closed. Fuck Google.
