I've been using start page for the past few years as a default, but find myself typing in google.com->tab to search a lot of my day. The difference between pasting in a random golang compiler error into startpage vs google trained me to google all of my software issues.
The biggest non-technical hurdle at this point is google maps. The ability to type in an address and get a map with directions and nearby businesses has been pounded into my brain and when I use DDG or startpage with an address I generally end up sighing and pasting it into google.
- EvilGrin 6y agoYou can use a bang in DuckDuckGo for this. Just add !g somewhere in the search and it'll redirect the search to Google. They have bangs setup for all sorts of things. https://duckduckgo.com/bang https://duckduckgo.com/bang
- jameshush 6y agoI use StartPage too and maps and currency conversation are the two things that make me open up Google
- mkayokay 6y agoI use xe.com for currency conversion - short url, easy to use and is not google. But there is no way around maps for me - at least for driving - for outdoor stuff I generally use Locus Map on my phone
