Ever since IO earlier this year when google showed their AI strategy I switched to firefox and duckduckgo and couldn't be happier with the decision. I am by no means anti-AI but users should be able to choose when they want to use these tools, google seems to want to shove it down everyone's throat.

Did a similar thing, but went with Kagi + Orion. Also happy to have a few more free cycles from not thinking about Google.
