There's a whole bunch of cool modern replacements. Here's a handy list: altbox.dev

I personally use bat and rg all the time, and find them much more suitable for everyday tasks.

Edit: And to clarify, I didn't create either list, they're just ones I'd bookmarked at some point.

The mobile site doesn't have the list. I was so confused.

Even better than rg is rga. Indeed, you have a fine list.
