Recently I tried to remove as many Google products from my life as possible, and I found it surprisingly easy to transition to Firefox browser and Duckduckgo as a search engine.
My search results are now back to how they used to be ~5 years ago on Google: they are no longer "personalised", so I always have the same baseline view of the internet. Ads are obvious, and only a maximum of one ad per screen (compared to more than an entire page's worth of ads as is the case with Google).
