I use Google and Google Maps plenty, though I'm one of the ones who might complain about their [lack of] privacy practices.

I use it for certain types of searches, and not others. I'm conscious of the fact that what I'm typing and searching, and subsequently clicking through will be piled on to the stack Google thinks is me. So it's usually tech searches, real estate/apartments, street view (property or exploring).

Health matters, personal matters, etc I tend to keep out of their search box.

Though more and more I tend to do a lot of cross-searching if privacy is not a concern.
