Even though Google Search is turning to crap, most people would still choose Google Search if prompted to choose a search engine.

As for Google Play Store integration, this might lead to Android phones having to choose a store in install like picking a browser for Windows.

I try daily driving DDG, but I keep finding myself switching to Google. It's just more... helpful

I just can’t tolerate scrolling through an entire page of sponsored ads to maybe find what I’m looking for buried under the same SEO article on five different websites

I daily DDG and either go to Kagi or, oddly enough, Bing if that doesn’t work. Google is too riddled with ads at this point.

One day I’m going to run out of free Kagi queries and I’ll probably have to pony up the money.
