What’s a good way to find alternatives to Google and YouTube?

Try the same few searches on several engines and compare what turns up. Results can differ, so check whether you can find the kinds of pages you actually need, not just whether one option looks promising at first.

A directory of alternatives can help you discover options, but treat it as a starting point. Check each service’s privacy settings and current features before making it your regular choice.

For video, it may be less about finding one site that replaces everything and more about where the creators or subjects you follow actually post. Try a few options from a current directory and see which ones have useful content and work well for you.
