@criptos I liked DDG at the start and used them for over 5 years at least, but the relevancy has really gone downhill over the past year, and I really don't like the "here's what we think you meant ;)" results that can't ever be fully disabled, though as a #google proxy, startpage is guilty of that too - it's less annoying with them though.

  How to live without Google
  
  from AlternativeTo
  
  For many the Internet is Google: Search, mail, videos, web browser, cloud services, mobile OS, etc. - Google is the major player in all these fields. But Google uses all data it gathers across its services to post targeted ads, and to massively profit from the data many share so freely with the Internet giant. Your personal data can also be subpoenaed by lawyers, including for civil cases like divorce. Google answered [over 100,000 such data requests](https://transparencyreport.google.com/user-data/overview?metric=users_accounts) in 2016 alone. More and more people are also realizing the risk of relying on one company for so many personal services. So, the time has come to stop this unlimited data mining and to take back our right to privacy. Here's a quick guide as to how you can use the Internet without sharing all your data with Google.

All I can say is that its good that I was lazy/not bothered to fix my microphone driver. Also very rarely use google search these days (that too only in incognito tabs).

  Evidence of new ‘AltOS’ mode suggests Pixelbook might soon be able to run Windows
  
  By Stephen Hall from 9to5Google
  
  While the Pixelbook only runs Chrome OS, its hardware isn’t — technically speaking — entirely locked in to the lightweight laptop (and lately, tablet) OS from Google. In fact, according to some new commits discovered by a Redditor over at /r/ChromeOS, Google is working on an “AltOS” mode that might allow it a bit more flexibility, although for now things are still muddy at best…
  
  Basically, all this speculation revolves around the finding of some commits referencing some kind of feature called “AltOS”. Given the name alone, it’s obvious what this might mean: The ability for the Pixelbook to natively boot an alternative OS. But we’re not sure at this point if that means a true dual-boot system, some feature that allows entirely replacing the device’s default OS, or something else.
  
  One commit mentions a “picker screen,” suggesting that there would actually be a user-facing UI for selecting another operating system. Another mentions Windows specifically, so maybe that’s one of the alternative operating systems that Google is currently testing on the Pixelbook. That would certainly make sense since it would have the widest availability of drivers for the Pixelbook’s hardware.
  
  For now, though, all we have are these bits and pieces of evidence. It’s clear that Google is working on something here, but unfortunately we can’t say what that may be with any amount of confidence. Obviously, we’re also not sure if this is a feature that would actually make its way to the Pixelbook in the form of a consumer-facing update; adding a dual-boot system would be a huge feature-add for an already-released product.
  
  9to5Google’s Take
  
  I think the flexibility of MacBooks being able to dual-boot Windows (and excellent driver support) is a big selling point for lots of people that are otherwise tied to Microsoft’s OS. Adding that feature to the high-priced Pixelbook would make that price tag a lot easier to swallow for some people.
  
  Interestingly, the only other operating system we’ve actually seen running on the Pixelbook is another one from Google: Fuchsia. If Google is planning to launch it on consumer devices in the coming years, I could see building out dual-boot functionality for the current gen Pixelbook to be a worthwhile investment, whether or not this ends up being a consumer-facing feature for the current model.
