Google has users still? Less tech savvy people have been hijacked by Bing, more techavvy people have bailed years ago. Right?
The least tech-savvy people don’t use Windows, but Android or iOS, where Bing isn’t the default search engine. (Slightly more tech-savvy ones may also use Chrome on Windows.)
As a tech-savvy person I still use Google a lot because DDG just doesn’t give equally good results much of the time. There are many web pages that are indexed by Google, but not DDG.
I highly recommend kagi if you can justify the cost. It is genuinely how Google used to be in terms of search quality.
Thanks for the tip, currently I usually get what I want from DDG and Google (almost never use any others), but if I ever become dissatisfied I might try it.
