I'm with you.

Wendy Selzer on Google 'personalising' all searches:

Joey Hess responding to that very change, the last straw for him, by
switching from Google to DuckDuckGo for Web searching:

When I read about that, I changed the 'Department of Google Juice' on
http://linuxmafia.com/ to a 'Department of Web-Search Juice' -- and
replaced the phrase 'googling' in my vocabulary with 'web-searching'.

As you'll note in the followups to Joey's post, DuckDuckGo is
Javascript-dependent (last I checked), and thus is
lynx-and-scripting-hostile, but works fine with Firefox/NoScript.
