Mine is DuckDuckGo. Works just fine. I don’t do google. They have the mark of the beast.

I’m sure DuckDuckGo is fine for 99% of searches, but I’ll tell you, I just it put it to a little test, and I have to say, Google did slightly better. Here’s the deal... I’m currently in the market for a hard-to-find discontinued furniture item (to match a set I own). I’ve been on the fence about buying it because Google produces exactly 1 result of a seller who has the item in stock for sale (and that one seller wants a price that I’m not crazy about). Well, with you guys talking about DuckDuckGo, I just decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately results are all for out-of-stock sellers and it didn’t find the one seller who has it. Consolation: Microsoft’s Bing doesn’t find it either.

Yep.... Like you, I have been using DuckDuckGo as my default search engine and have so for a number of years. Great search engine. No difficulties in setting it up as the default in IE, Edge, Safari or Android devices.
