Well IDK, I tried Bing directly a few times and it would just grab one of the keywords in the query and then completely ignore the others. Unless it’s a conspiracy of the big DuckDuckGo with Macroslop…
I know how to buy stuff in real life. I’m in the middle of nowhere and there is very little here to buy in real life. If I really need the mouse skids I just ordered yesterday, Amazon it is!
Sadly, I can spend hours searching for a company that sells mouse skids only to find they are available through Ali and requires a 4 to 6 week shipping and will cost $2 for 60 plus an extra $15US vs $5 per 60 with free shipping on Amazon in 5 days.
I can hate Amazon all you want me to, but the reality of cost and shipping times sets in pretty quickly.
Try to not use google in the process too.

How am I supposed to not use Google?
Go into your browser settings and pick a search engine thats not google
Im currently using DuckDuckGo No ai
I used Ecosia for years up until recently. everyone has a preference, but there are plenty of other options.
Duck uses Bing, so not really that much better.
Largely Bing, but not solely

Doesn’t DDG literally just feed it through Bing instead?
And Google is able to harvest your information in a million other ways, literally from you simply going to a website.

So far my experience with DDG is it’s not exactly great at searching either.

I may not be good at googling, but I’m not sure how you’re paying more on ali express than Amazon.
I didnt know what a mouse skid was, but I searched it and found this right away, at the top https://www.newegg.com/p/173-00GN-00042
I dont know if newegg is reputable or not, but this seems cheap, and has free shipping.
In my life, Im okay spending $1-$5 more for a product if it avoids the monopolized markets.
Newegg used to be a good deal
I stopped using the years ago when they gave their sales data to state governments to extort sales tax years after the sale.
yeah, I assumed there was some bullshit
I used the wrong term. I was looking for these
