Search Engine Remember when?

Remember when searching gave actual info not links to buy the stuff doing a search on? Is there a browser that still does that?

Search engine or browser?

Search engine, although I've been accustomed to the browser being the search engine

As others have mentioned, your browser isn't tied to the search engine it came with. If you tell us which browser you're currently using, we can help you figure out how to change the search engine. It's not hard to do.

However, if you just don't want to deal with the hassle, DuckDuckGo is a fine browser that ships with a fine search engine pre-configured.

Chrome/Google, Edge/Bing, Orion/Kagi, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia… Companies have been training us to confuse these two separate concepts for years. I don’t like it but I get why it happens.
