as a browser, duckduckgo works a lot better for me then google. try it. you may still need google occasionally for specific searches and to cross reference search results, but i find it highly satisfactory. Remember, DDG is American-based and even I, a UK resident can use it well.
Unless you count that one time I accidentally searched for weather details on my watch, I have use Google search ONCE this year. DDG is absolutely fine right now.
And again, unless you count my Android Auto (Google Maps) searches, I have use Google search maybe 20 times since August 2020.
