witty-name··on Ask HN: Do you still use Google?
Still prefer Google over any other search engine.

Here are the issues I've faced with some of the alternatives: 1. Duck: Used it for years but the quality of results has taken a nosedive lately. 2. Startpage: Was good when it used to get results from Google but now it's a mix of Google and Bing. 3. Metasearch engines (SearX): Unreliable since they rely on scraping. 4. Kagi: Results are not better enough to consider paying for it.

That being said, I don't have my Google account logged in while doing searches.

That's what I'm thinking as well. Spotify ain't great but it's fine. Some people are recommending Apple Music but Apple Music don't even have a client for Linux and their website is awful. OTOH, I can use Spotify even through my terminal.
