I wonder what % of people who still use Google are tech literate enough to switch to DDG or some other search engine once Google decides to fully start putting the ads inside the AI results.
It's a weird position for them to be in since I imagine that those who actually like the AI answers are probably just asking some AI chat box instead.
DDG is even worse. 90% of the time I use it I end up using the !bangs to switch to another search engine. Only thing it's okay for is looking for video game ROMs.

What's a good one to use now then? I have been on DDG just because I know it's better for privacy than Google and lets me mostly turn off the AI garbage.

I end up using Google and just rephrasing/formatting my posts 2-3 times to get what I need, usually.
