Oh, I NEVER use Google, lol - at least not intentionally. I moved away from even DDG, as I witnessed the transition occur over a short period - this all happened after I wrote the Google Series, and that wasn't long ago. We know that Google's algorithms and Google itself is embedded in the search results of most other SE's. A lot of the SE's use each other to maximize info sources and this did provide benefits to the searcher, initially. But now Google is embedded in so many other search engines and has become the default on so many browsers that they are engaging in a Central Planning system of info control. I've compared results from ten's of SE's and found results alarmingly similar. This will not be evident to the avg searcher until they search something political - which is how it's gone so unnoticed. Will post a short article explaining my findings.
Definitely a noble cause - one which will unfortunately, most certainly never lead to nobility.
