DuckDuckGo is awesome. It lets you turn off AI responses (but IMO they're actually a lot less bullshit than Google's) and you can add !g to search google instead if you need to. I also use !w for wikipedia and !gh for GitHub!
They're really trying to make a true replacement for Google on all fronts. Give it a try!!!
Reminder that DuckDuckGo is far from perfect. They censor and derank or hide Russian news sources since the SMO started as "disinformation" and have admitted as much. They likely censor and derank other anti-empire outlets and sources as well without admitting it. I actually think they may be worse than Google in this particular regard as they did it as a libbed up "ethics" stand as part of the whole Russia-gate nonsense.
Not to say continue using Google but I'd be wary of using DDG for anything anti-empire or politically contentious.
