Do you still use Google, or have you tried an alternative search engine?

I found these articles very helpful in understanding the different options out there.
I personally recommend Ecosia because it is a non-profit that plants trees

I've tried many search engines over the years (most of those listed here) but have settled on DDG for my daily searches. I have not used google for at least ten years now.

DDG is merely adequate - and seems to be becoming less so. I will fall back to Google when I have-to, but even their results seem to be of lesser quality than in the past. This may very well be a symptom of "garbage in, garbage out", as well as corporate manipulation of the search mechanisms.
