If you switched most people from google into DDG without telling, most would hardly notice, I venture. Mapping is different.

Just apple maps and bing under the hood though.

What we really need is some non-super monopoly competition like osm

Perhaps, though I am dubious (when it comes to things like searching for business open hours or street view).

However it’s not like choosing which restaurant to go to. They just type their search in the Google browser textbox and use the same search engine they’ve always used, the default. They’d need to encounter a failed search and think to try another.
