Still prefer Google over any other search engine.

Here are the issues I've faced with some of the alternatives: 1. Duck: Used it for years but the quality of results has taken a nosedive lately. 2. Startpage: Was good when it used to get results from Google but now it's a mix of Google and Bing. 3. Metasearch engines (SearX): Unreliable since they rely on scraping. 4. Kagi: Results are not better enough to consider paying for it.

That being said, I don't have my Google account logged in while doing searches.

I hate when people bash good things without providing any details. This is so unhelpful. I've been using DDG for 5+ years; switching to Google never helps to find something useful on top.

Same, results are just as good as google. Image search layout if far better than google’s attrocity.

Google Shopping is advantage tho.
