It’s that extra crap that kills it for me.

I have all the add-ins, extensions, etc so my experience is fine (and I also just use DuckDuckGo). But I tried searching for something on my parent’s computer with Google… it was like the early 00s with all the crap before the actual results.

I immediately switched their default, but I could not believe it. Like why would you do that to your own site?

honestly… duckduckgo.com

you will still get most of the top results, but without all the nonsense.

Their browser is a bit shady and how it shares info with Microsoft / Bing but their search engine is solid.

Stupid name, good search results.
