As a result, I’ve had a fairly tedious but important revelation: I search for really obvious stuff.
So I made a simple change: I opened up Firefox on my Android phone and switched Google search for DuckDuckGo. Did I really need the all-seeing, all-knowing algorithms of Google to assist me? Probably not. It all started with a realisation: most the things I search for are easy to find. And, after two years in the wilderness, I’m pretty sure I’m sold on a post-Google future. But something makes these searches, in internet terms, a bit unusual. Before that, I wanted to know the capital of Albania (Tirana), the Twitter handle of Liberal Democrat deputy leader Ed Davey (he’s and dates of bank holidays in the UK for 2019 (it’s a late Easter next year, folks). What was the last thing you searched for online? For me, it was ‘$120 in pounds’.
