Google is completely enshittified - I can’t even use it without Capchas wasting 90% of my life.

What websites do you recommend (or search engines) to use for research?

    I use standard Google. Should I just use scholar? I’m trying to reduce my use of Google’s services though.

      Google scholar is fine. There’s little opportunity for them to enshittify since it’s quite easy to construct a journal crawler and there really can’t be that much revenue from people searching for these highly esoteric topics.

      And, the people you’d be pissing off would be the ones that are capable of creating a competitor, and there’s already competitors.

      Also, their own employees.
