I've been using DDG as my primary search engine for the past three weeks. The author here doesn't discuss the downsides, and I haven't found very many either.

I've been using DDG as my primary search engine for the past three weeks. The author here doesn't discuss the downsides, and I haven't found very many either. Occasionally (say, when searching for specific error messages and things) I still find Google to be better, but for most things I prefer DDG, and I'll be sticking with it for the forseeable future.
