Switched from edge to Firefox recently. While edge is extremely good and the user experience is about the same, I did it in protest to Google/chromium.
Also started using duckduckgo. Was a good choice.
I switched from DuckDuckGo to SearXNG to Whoogle to LibreX and finally to Startpage, all so I don’t have to get results only from Bing
I’m using Phind. It’s presumably using Google search, but it skips all the bloat and ads, skips clicking through the links one by one, and rummaging through articles full of more ads and annoying popups. Then it summarizes everything with sources, if I ever need to go to the page directly (which I mostly don’t need to). And it supports bangs for Google and DDG, if you need to go old-school.
My issue with Phind is its developer oriented, and has been quite slow in my experience with their new model.
