  Sometimes, yeah. My default is DDG, and I also use Kagi, but Google is still good at some stuff. Guess I’ll take the hit and just stop using it completely though. Kagi has been good enough, and also lets me search the fediverse for finding that dank meme I saw last week. Google used to be able to do that, but can’t shove as many ads in those queries I assume, so they dropped that ability.

      I use ddg. But that just uses Microsoft’s bing on the backend right?

  I don’t think I used Google it the last 5-6 years. It’s duck duck go all the way.
