It’s a paid service that in return respects privacy, and has results as good as Google’s.
Google doesn’t say “Fuck you, Pay me” because you are the product.

It feels great to live in the US, a first world shithole.
It’s a known issue with tailscale. It drains my battery pretty bad as well. I had to opt for wireguard for remote access instead.
Kagi is great. Excellent search results for the most part, better than either DDG or Google in my experience.
This is just a small list, but plugins like beetcamp, deezer, and lastgenre among others have been helpful to tag music. If you use deemix or buy music from bandcamp those plugins are extremely helpful. Lastgenre needs some configuring and monitoring to make sure irrelevant tags aren’t assigned to songs though.
If you’re into scripting, calliope is another tool that can interact with Spotify, lastfm, and musicbrainz (though musicbrainz stuff in my experience was unreliable). I’m using calliope to scrap together a solution to sync my local favorites in my music library and sync that to Spotify. It can also create playlists for Spotify from your local music library, and get Lastfm recommendations based on an artist or song.
I look forward to using LinkWarden eventually! My current bookmark setup involves both LinkDing and WallaBag which is a little quirky. Hopefully soon Wallabag exports could be imported and I’d be good to migrate.
For me, I know it doesn’t offer much privacy if its locally hosted, but the latency compared to using public instances is much better. Which may sound stupid, but at least I also don’t have to depend on another person for their instance.
I have been self-hosting a local Invidious instance for several months. I watch videos from it every day and I’ve had no IP ban so far.
I didn’t realize how important Reddit was to get quality results from Google. Without Reddit almost the whole 1st page is just SEO optimized sites. It’s just ironic that alternate search engines are better than Google now.
I’d say in a good bit of cases better than Google now. Each time I’ve resorted to Google because I think I’m getting lackluster results, it’s got the same results but also a bunch of SEO dogshit I have to sort through. Kagi’s personal site ranking and filters make it worth it too.
