There are other reasons to switch:
- Google's blatant Youtube spam in search results. They no longer keep them in the "video" tab. It's becoming increasingly difficult to keep YouTube out.
- Better UX: no sticky headers, clean output without random stuff injected into your search results, which is especially annoying on mobile.
- Image search actually can be used for image search, i.e. I am not forced to visit pages of images, when I need an image URL.
Basically, DDG looks like Google circa 2005 which is a good thing.
