On one of my old devices, I still have an old version of Safari (which fails to update) and when I open Google it asks to accept some terms, but their JavaScript is "modern" so I cannot click that dialog away. So, I'm switched to DDG on it and it works fine for general search, esp. as it seems less attacked by "SEO optimized" spam sites. But Google is still better in some areas. Like when I check something that has a date+time as an answer, Google computes it into my timezone. And non-English search is much, much better in Google.
