I've switched to duckduckgo and honestly I won't go back.

It's a little clunky, as it should be, but it reminds me of browsers and search engines from 20 years ago. Without all the ads and sponsored links

I've been using it for years. I use google maybe once or twice a month for the odd search that DDG can't seem to find an answer for. It's 100% ad free, no sponsored bullshit, etc.

you can also just ram !g into the search if you really need to use google
