I wouldn't even change my search engine back. Google often sends me captchas while using a VPN, and sometimes somehow I end up stuck doing the captcha for 1+ min. So I've been using Bing for the last few weeks when that happens, and I haven't found the results worse than Google's.

Even Yandex.com has started to send me captchas. Once I encounter a captcha page I quickly switch over to bing or ddg. No time for the captcha bullshit.

Neither Brave Search nor DuckDuckGo do this and both have better results than Google at this point.

this was what caused me to stop using Google as my default search engine as well.

Have you tried DuckDuckGo?

I haven't, but I probably should. I just found it straightforward to type bing.com when blocked by Google and it was the first thing that came to mind.

And after seeing I wasn't blocked it has become my go-to in the last few weeks; I've ended up using it about 10 times in the last month.
