And it's worth every penny to Google. Apple users (in the US anyway) have more disposable income and advertisers will pay for those eyeballs.

In my experience, Google actually is the best search engine, despite all the ads. Everything else, aside from Bing, is just regurgitating content sourced from Google and Bing, but making it slower, clunkier or turning it into a crypto scam.

I switch to DuckDuckGo by accident and was quite impressed. No idea where that stuff comes from. The new 'AI' based search engines are also useful for some things.

I've been a happy DDG user for a few years now. It was initially terrible for local searches (I'm at the ass end of NZ) but the last few years I very rarely find myself switching back to google for anything.
