I don't use web search because every link is some combination of:
- Cloudflare browser checking
- IP blocking
- Captcha puzzles
- paywalls
- popups
- ads
- trackers
- cookie acceptance dialogs
- legalese
- fingerprinting
- redirects
- javascript bloat
- long load times
Instead, I let the LLM do the search

What LLM do you recommend? I feel like they’re all surveillance tech but you have a good point. May be better than the alternatives
I use Kagi mostly, but I don't know what LLM they use, feels like GPT. Moving toward self hosted LLM though, with searches over Tor, which has surprisingly less blockage than my VPN.
