I'll go first. I've used a lot of search engines, I used duckduckgo for quite some time but found their search results kinda bad. I'm currently using ecosia the search results are similar to ddg's but at least I'm planting trees, so there's that.

I use Bing just because it was immediately available when I decided I didn't want to use Google anymore.

Ever since Bing introduced their AI stuff I've been trialing it + Edge on my main computer. It's not so bad but sometimes I do need to use Google to actually find what I'm looking for. Currently using Google on everything else though. The AI stuff is actually pretty good but I feel like if Google makes their implementation more widespread most people are just going to use that vs Bing.

Google most of the time, Yandex if I need to find pictures. Their image search is more like Google's before they nerfed it. I've used Qwant off and on in the past and rather liked it.
