I don't need a 27-page novel to know the temperature and time to cook something. I also don't want to he directed to Pintrest and be required to have an account. Honestly, I've started using Bing more often.

Try Brave Search, Duckduckgo, Startpage, or Searxng. For more detail on these recommendation (that I definitely did not just steal), check out the Privacy Guides page, or The New Oil for a different, albeit overlapping, set of recommendations and take on search engines.

You mention brave but no mention of kagi? Kagi is way better than DDG too.

Best not to use brave since it's a front for crypto. Other's are okay

DuckDuckGo has recently become a not very useful search engine too, it still has way way better queries than Google though.

Going back usually shuffles the search results and after like 5 results there's just a bunch of random entries based on your geolocation.

I just ask ChatGPT these days.

I'm just starting to learn HTML and oh my fucking god do I LOVE chatGPT... Holy hell... I can't even begin to express just how amazing it is to be able to ask basic questions and not only get a reply, but provide example code, and it will elaborate or be as concise as you like... I LOVE IT! I'm especially happy to see they don't ask for your phone number and other absurdly intrusive unnecessary information anymore. That's what kept me away at first.

I do know it's not infallible and I probably won't use it as much as I move on to more complex programming.
