I always made sure to log out of Google to avoid this issue, however after a couple of years using the Duck the main thing I notice when I end up on Google is how cluttered the search results have become. You have a bunch of widgets everywhere trying to give you "smart" results, related searches etc...
Usually when I search for something I don't care about any of that, I just want to see the organic matches, not "People also ask" and "People also search for" widgets that are of no value to me.
DDG only has the wikipedia widget (which I actually find pretty useful generally) and sometimes the video or image carousel at the top which is sometimes relevant and doesn't waste a lot of screen real estate. I hope it'll continue that way.

- creddit 8y agoWRT the cluttered results, at this point I pretty much refuse to use Google search on mobile because it's so often that the results are presented on the most useless, cluttered web page I've seen from any major internet company. Abysmal, really. It's especially bad if searching for a product or movie or anything else that can be bought/sold.
