It took me something like 6 years, but I've gone over to DDG. Their results were poorer than Google's for me, so when I tried to switch I used to end up repeating and adding !g to every search. I don't think DDG got better, but Google results are bad enough that I think they're equal in quality now (for me). I don't login to Google, have tracking disabled, use uBlock and pihole; FF/Brave.

- pbhjpbhj 7y agoWell it's hard to tell objectively but it seems to have got worse without me changing the privacy settings. I guess that's their quid pro quo though.
- holler 7y agoI concur that both the UI/UX has gone down and the results themselves are feeling less reliable. Have you tried viewing pages past the first page? Often times it's just filled with what looks like foreign hacker scam websites.
