I like using Google as a term for search to annoy Google.
So I’ll tell someone to use DDG to Google it
Or Google something on youtube
Or Google something on Facebook

I’ve quite solidly taken to the phrase “Just Web search it” and gently replying “yes, I’ll Web search it” when prompted to “google it”.

Genericide is a power held by the people, and we should use it more often.

I don’t exactly trust DDG after I read about the founder. Have you tried Startpage?

Startpage is majority owned by an ad company

Startpage is the business, can confirm. Only default on FF on my work computer though, boo to Safari (and the dumb add on that doesn’t actually add it).
