I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for a few years now. It’s increasingly rare that I need to switch to Google.

And when you do need google, you can always just add `!g` to your search query. There are a bunch of other useful ones [0], my favorite is probably `!w` for Wikipedia.

Duckduckgo is just Bing with location-based ads injected into the bottom of your search results.
This is true, but there are less ads than on Bing proper and they are less intrusive. Also no cookies popups or constant rewards notification or flashing icon.
Maybe, but it's ok.
Same, but using QWant.

It's somehow refreshing to be able to actually find useful things from the internet.
