One thing that makes it impossible to switch to DDG for me is how bad the automatic correction is for simple typos and such. Google is incredibly good at offering to correct your search to what you meant if you completely botch the typing, eg. mashing “havlrt news” is fine to get here.
DDG often can’t even correct single letter typos where the character is adjacent. On a phone there is usually no autocorrect or word suggestion in the search box as it doubles as the URL bar, so this means you have to manually fix typos to get the right results.
