I've also switched to duckduckgo as my default search engine, but I do find myself falling back to google more often than I'd like because duckduckgo can't find what I'm searching for.

Any opinion on using startpage.com?

Not yet, but I’ll give it a go!

I think you get used to it, or you realise the google results nearly universally suck?

I’ve been using DDG for many years now, and have maybe used google intentionally 5 times in the last few years. Mainly for local things that DDG kinda sucks at.

The default and unchangeable search engine at work is google, and I find myself often re-searching for things in DDG that I’ve accidentally hit google for.
