I haven't used Google for search for years personally and professionally. I first switched to DDG and at first found I would fall back to Google, but as I learnt the tool and time went on I slowly stopped falling back to Google search. I now pay for Kagi and love it and would say it has now been at least 18 months since I used Google search with intention on my devices. However, there are times when I have to use a device or system that is not mine and I need to use search, Google is default, and I use it to get the job done. I no longer enjoy the experience, I don't miss using it, there are a lot of ads, and the results are definitely no better and harder to pick it out.
I'm really confused as to why people still state Google as the standard to beat. IMO, that's no longer true.
