I switched my default to DDG about a year and a half ago after what I assume was am A/B test that filled the first 3 screen lengths with various Google Widgets, and 90% of the first page results were links to Google products which for the search query was not especially useful. And that's with ads blocked. I've been bothered by Google's business practices for a long time, and have switched to Firefox as completely as possible, but I'm still tied to Android. For some very specific searches Google is still better at surfacing good results. But even when Google results are really good I usually have to scroll past so much first party feature lard that the experience is taxing.
