I don't like that stuff in Google, so I'm fine with DDG not over-doing it. Wikipedia overview is fine, but the many widgets just get in the way IMO. If I want a map I go on maps. If I want reviews I go on a review website.
Like if I type "apple" on Google search the only web result I get is apple.com, everything else is taking with tangentially related widgets: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=apple https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=apple
Special points for the IMO completely useless "people also search for" widget.
DDG tones it down a lot more: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=apple&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=apple&ia=web
Here without scrolling I can see potentially useful links to iCloud, Apple TV, Apple's support etc...
Back when I first used Google its main selling point was that it was lean and clean and with decent results. DDG is like that for me these days.
