The problem with DDG is that it doesn't do really well for non-English results. I use DDG now, but sometimes I do have to use !g to redirect to Google.

- Akronymus 6y agoThe bangs are one of the main draws of DDG for me. Besides not being google.

- ignoramous 6y agoI used https://lite.duckduckgo.com https://lite.duckduckgo.com for a long time because of its near instant redirects, but it recently broke Firefox's omnisearch, and so I've all but stopped using it for even that. The bangs are painfully slow over the main duckduckgo site. Miss the bangs.
- pgcj_poster 6y agoBeing made by the French, Qwant.com seems to give better non-English results than DuckDuckGo and gives similar priority to privacy.
- PoignardAzur 6y agoQwant has a reputation on r/france for being completely awful. Not sure how justified that reputation is. Also, for non-trivial results, Qwant is mostly a fancy Bing front-end, so you might as well use Bing.
