Don’t care. I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo years ago and never looked back.
DDG relies overwhelmingly on Bing's engine, though obviously DDG has the good privacy policies. Bing's engine has not performed well in my own daily usage, so I avoid both Bing and DDG.
 
I finally gave up using DDG because it pretty much sucks in the USA - so I thought I’d try Google again after a 7 year hiatus.
Google now sucks like 10X worse than it used to. So now I’m back to DDG. They’re both godawful.
The problem is that the web sucks anymore. Too many sites doing low grade or automated content and clever SEO just to get clicks on the search engines. They are drowning out the actual useful pages and Google can't keep up.

I'm sure Google will give us a setting to turn this off right after they figure out what their messaging app of the month is.
 
Vintage Google. "If it ain't broken, break it." Possibly one of the worst "innovations" of the late-ish internet, continuous scrolling. A surefire way to bring a browser to its knees in due time, too (hello, insane RAM occupation?). Sometimes, at Google, seems their collective IQ isn't any higher than room temperature.
 
So what is the best search engine that's not Google. It's usable with continuous scroll, but I hate it and it makes me want to use something else.
