I've opted out of using Google as my search engine for political reasons.

I'm using the Chrome brower and I switched to Bing. If you're using Chrome, it's easy to switch from Google to another search engine.

In the top right corner of your screen you'll see 3 vertical dots. Click the dots and then click "settings".

Scroll down to "Search Engine" and then "Search Engine Used in Address Bar". Towards the right there will be a menu of search engines (Google, Bing etc.) and select the one you prefer. I chose Bing. Exit out of "Settings". The one you selected will become the default search engine.

I did this on my desktop computer and the procedure may vary slightly if you're using a tablet.

Browser recommendation: I use Slimjet. It has a built in ad blocker. Add Web of Trust and Ghostery and you're blocked from trackers and most ads.

I really like it.

Chrome is google. Switch to MSM or Firefox or any others but get off of chrome and don't use gmail.
