I hate pinterest with a passion without anywhere else to go.. - eviltoast

Any way to semi achieve the image search like pinterest without using it? I’ve tried using google, technically it should give the same or better results but how the hell pinterest gives better search results. Also pinterest removes the context behind the image and is a privacy nightmare. I want to move away from it.

------\\------- Anyone wondering what did I end up with? Here’s what I am doing. I have deactivated my pinterest account and if I specifically want results from pinterest and pinterest only then I use services such as binterest (actually that the only one working right now) and if I instant like something I take a pic of it and save in my proton drive (cloud) and if I need more recommendations out of it then I just use the google image search on that image and there’s a camera like icon if you click on it, it shows more closely related images and I think that works the best instead of the general related stuff that come up upon selecting the image (the sidebar) and I keep doing that on every next image I click on.

    I use duck duck go, it does the trick 99% of the time, especially if you use extensions to remove specified websites - like Pinterest - from the results.

      I use duckduckgo as well, and I don’t particularly hate having pinterest results in the search. But I definitely don’t wanna login just to see the image in low resolution which won’t even have the context of where it was taken from, nor the artist credit.
