Yes, with the following exceptions:
- YouTube has content that I enjoy and isn't available elsewhere. I know that it stores my history but I find its recommendations and multi-device support good enough that I consider it worth it. (Also, FWIW, you can disable the history using [0], it also has an autodelete, though I don't use it)
- I drive and in my region, nothing is good enough for driving directions aside from Google Maps. I've tried all the other major apps on iOS like TomTom, Sygic etc. but they just don't work well enough.
- Again, while driving, I use Android Auto on a device dedicated to that purpose. It's also the only situation where I use Google's voice recognition. I do so because I speak English in my daily life (e.g. song titles) but my region is German-speaking (e.g. places/street names/business names/addresses) and I need to be able to use both while driving. Only Google Assistant/Android Auto can be configured to recognise two languages.

- mikymoothrowa 4y agoIt’s the same 2 things for me + Google search. I tried setting my default engine to bing/ddg for a year and brave for a few months. Everytime I found myself directly going to Google using the g! shortcut on brave and ddg So I’m using other search engines now when Google Doesn’t give me what I want
