I'll go first. I've used a lot of search engines, I used duckduckgo for quite some time but found their search results kinda bad. I'm currently using ecosia the search results are similar to ddg's but at least I'm planting trees, so there's that.

I'm using DuckDuckGo but I'm going to switch back to Brave Search when images will be ready

I use Bing just because it was immediately available when I decided I didn't want to use Google anymore.

Startpage most of the time but its so slow in showing you the result. When im using the web for studying i just use google without an account because its just WAY faster

I usually switch between DDG and Bing. I usually get what I'm looking for between these two guys.

Ecosia on desktop, DuckDuckGo on mobile.

I used Chrome for the longest time, before finding out about it dropping for adblockers. I decided to give Firefox a try, and I can honestly say that I prefer it a lot over Chrome. The advantages are too many to list here xd.m

Google most of the time, Yandex if I need to find pictures. Their image search is more like Google's before they nerfed it. I've used Qwant off and on in the past and rather liked it.

I used DuckDuckGo for years but I recently decided to make my own minimalist frontend to Bing API + Brave API and I added bangs of course.

Ever since Bing introduced their AI stuff I've been trialing it + Edge on my main computer. It's not so bad but sometimes I do need to use Google to actually find what I'm looking for. Currently using Google on everything else though. The AI stuff is actually pretty good but I feel like if Google makes their implementation more widespread most people are just going to use that vs Bing.
