How many people actually want to switch from Google?

I think the bigger question is how many people would notice a switch? My family members now "google" stuff on DDG.

Google are paying tens of billions to keep them in the "default" dominant position because they know this.

Google results have fallen dramatically in terms of quality. I’d switch from current Google to Google circa 2018
