I want to love DDG - but for local search in the UK - it is terrible. I can be in a small town, searching for that small town, and it will give me a whole bunch of American results. It is still my default search on my phone (plus I use Brave as the browser) - but I find myself popping back to google when I want a 'proper' search (and by that I mean the way that I've conditioned myself to thinking search should work with the last X years of googling - sure DDG will feel more natural one day)
