I gave DDG many tries (as I really want to abandon literally everything Google), but no, the search results and speed are an order of magnitude inferior to Google's. I always find myself switching back to the evil, because that's the only viable option.

> the only viable option Let's not lie to ourselves. It's the option you prefer, not the only viable one. It's also a lie to pretend that Google is any more evil than DDG. Both are capitalist corporations marketing a story to convince people to give them money (in this case, to convince you to make money for them). Neither of these organizations have morals, they have profit margins and consumer strategies. "Privacy" is just the tech equivalent of "Organic", a marketing tool to convince you to choose their brand. Eventually Google will get on the "privacy train" and people will completely forget they were "evil", just like with Microsoft. It's all so much Eurasia versus Eastasia.

  No. Privacy really matters. "I have nothing to hide". Yea, Nah. More like: "I had nothing to hide, until I did, and then it was too late".

  Well in terms of getting the job done (accurately finding what I'm searching for), it is the only viable one.
