Consider Kagi far superior.
I ditched Google and Gmail.

Nice to see this choice is making an actual difference.
I ditched it around 2014 when I noticed it had effectively become the yellow pages. Its pretending to be one thing to the ‘user’ when its actually serving someone else. This is transparent of course but the balance/compromise or tradeoff of it still providing some utility to the user despite this is what may vary for different people. My threshold was low. That and the privacy violations. Unfortunately its a corporation.
Ditched Google for DuckDuckGo in like 2019 and used that for a long time until Kagi came out and now I use that and I'm quite happy with it.
