I tried to switch my primary search engine on Firefox to DDG yesterday when I heard the news. 3 searches later, I switched back. I don’t like Google, but damned if I’m not used to it.

If you use ddg you can redirect any search to google by adding a space ans !g to the end of the search term.

Annoyingly, but works on the cases where google does better.
