I’ve been using ddg for a little over 5 years. Those first few years of use I found myself using !g a ton, but I think ddg’s results are actually better now. Not that the search is necessarily better, but I don’t have to wade through a bunch of ads. I know this is a tired position around here but honestly there’s very little I get out of google’s search that I don’t get from ddg.
- tombert 7y agoI'd say I still do the !g thing about 10% of the time. DDG is good for my average search case of "I really just need to get to the wikipedia article but I don't know quite what it's titled", or finding an answer on StackOverflow, but if I'm doing anything that's kind of niche, I end up having to use Google.
- johnydepp 7y agoI totally agree with you. I have made ddg my default search on browser but many times I end up Googling. It has increased the time to get the final answere to 1.5 times atleast.
- CivBase 7y agoI've been using DDG for about three years now and I still use !g a lot, but I really shouldn't. Google practically never finds what I'm looking for if DDG can't.
- beckingz 7y ago90% of the time I use !g, google doesn't have anything in the first few pages either.
