    Yes. I have regularly been using DDG, but would wind up using google sometimes anyway. Now I’m actively forced to use other engines because google is now a monetized results server and will return zero or no relevant results in favor or sponsored or monetized results.

        Doesn’t mean capitalism is bad. Google has a search monoply, there are plenty of other search engines but how can they compete.
