I discovered the kagi search engine last week and it’s so much better. No ads. I can move favored sites up or pin them in the search results.
Edit: Found out they only allow 100 searches for free, after that it’s a paid monthly subscription. So ignore my previous advice…
I love GOG. If they release a game i play often, i rebuy it on that platform. I find game clients just annoying, especially ea app (stop popping up everytime i quit a game dammit). So if i can play without it, i go for it.
