Something might be changing inside Google.
- Last year after 10 years of utterly irrelevant and insulting ads they've now started to show me relevant ads. I might even have clicked one or two as it was kind of interesting.
- Twice in the last six weeks when I hit !g in ddg to see if I was luckier in Google, Google delighted me by actually showing exactly the results I wanted.
For those who are too young to remember old Google I'll try to explain: normally when I search with Google the last ten years if the topic wasn't completely mainstream, Google would twist my words to mean something that they could show more results for.
Old Google showed what you searched for in an almost intelligent way, and this is what I have seen again no, for the first time in ~10 years, and not only once buy twice!
- And now this: they'll stop trying to shove AMP down our throats..?
Let me guess:
- someone is threatening to sue Google
- and Googlers are tired of getting rightfully roasted for something stupid Goolge does, every single time they show up here
- bouke 6y agoDDG has reduced my need for Google Search for about 99% now. I even dread having to adding “!g” to my search as I have a growing dislike for Google’s grey UX patterns.

Same here, and often the difference has been down to randomness, but lately - as I mentioned - I have had not just one but two times that Google actually behaved like Google from < 2009.
- hinkley 6y agoIrony is that if I want to shop online I have to use Google because DDG pretty much only shows Amazon. If I wanted Amazon I'd just be on amazon.com not ddg.com, fellas.
- pdimitar 6y agoI sure hope you are right. It would be about time, too.
