I use Brave search. I just tried "Duckduckgo browser" in both Brave search and google, and the 1st few top results were the same (except google had a load of ads scattered everywhere).
Obviously YMMV, but I rarely need to use Google these days.
Beyond general web searches, I just thought I'd expand on how I don't use Google.
For code documentation, I install Zeal and perform local searches.
For opensource information (medical, geopolitical, people, etc) I'll just search straight into Wikipedia.
For technical stuff, I'll search straight into Stack Overflow.
Honestly once you know where to search, you can pretty much skip Google search for 80% of the time. If Google / Duckduck Go / Brave search stopped working tomorrow, I wouldn't feel like I couldn't use the internet in an efficient manner.
