You're not missing anything. Google is far better than DDG and I'm shocked people claim otherwise because it's so fairly self evident.
That said I try to use DDG when I can but I don't lie to myself that I'm using it because it has better results -- it doesn't. It has better approach to privacy and thats why I use it. The fact that they know less about the searcher intrinsitcally means the results of searches will be worse.
- Crash0v3rid3 7y agoI sometimes feel that we are in this echo chamber. These threads always follow the same patterns, someone asks if they know of an alternative search engine and a HNer quickly mentions they have gone to DDG and haven't looked back. DDG is decent but not even close to the search quality of Google. I know the folks here want to see Google dethroned but DDG won't do it.
