People have suggested web rings, but most people don't care much.

Most users are kind of learned helplessness and don't really try much different.

I haven't heard anyone say Google is the best in a very long time. But people keep using it because they either don't know or don't like change. Deals to make it the default in many browsers certainly help keep it going.

I can suggest marginalia search as an alternative, it is sponsored by NLNET and based in europe. https://nlnet.nl/news/2023/20231016-marginalia.html

Google search has been shit for several years, this isn't a shock.

Can't there be an alternative like a user-curated search engine? Users could label their favorite sites with the proper keywords and then the community could up/downvote the results for quality control.
