DDG and Ecosia use Bing, so depending on why you want to ditch Google, it’s hardly a real alternative (to big tech). Qwant is slow and shows far less results. I still have to go to Google for some queries.
I do the same, but at times I use Ecosia instead of Qwant. The results are borderline unusable, just like in case of Google - too many commercial links, disrespect for the exact expressions I use or their proximity in text. If something is called similar to a product… So I find these search engines similar to Google, I use them to avoid Google, not to get better results. When image searching, I sometimes go back to Google when I don’t get enough results - Google usually finds more.
What internet do you live in?
I use Duck duck go at work and Qwant (European) privately.
Both are infinitely better than Google and They’re only my preferred ones, there are dozens out there.
