Not sure if anyone's the same, but I find Google search the least sticky of their services, i.e. I could manage fine if forced to use Bing (probably not as good, but probably good enough), but I would really struggle if Gmail or Google photos access was axed in my region.

I'm the opposite - search is the only Google service I use (apart from occasionally recce-ing bike rides on Street View). I've tried to wean myself off it, and have succeeded for casual browsing on mobile, but for programming queries I don't find Bing or DDG anywhere near as good.

You could use DDG and then add "!g" at the beginning for your programming queries.

Right, which is what everybody does, and then develops a reflex for !g on every query because DDG really doesn't work well for any sort of technical query.

I keep hearing this, but personally fine that in the rare case I try !g for better results I don't get anything better.
