Yes, personally I use DDG more than Google, but we are in our 70ies, so it would be hard to convince the wife (who has been a dev 40 years ago) to change her habits. I am already looking into SearXNG, though.
I got my Grandma to switch to DDG after she saw an advert for it on TV.
My Gran, meanwhile, didn't need convincing. She uses Ecosia, because she likes the whole reforestation thing they're doing.
Unrelated, but if she's ever interested in sharing, I'd be interested in hearing what it was like to be a female dev in the 80s! It's tough enough today.
