"is just better" isn't a very good distinction. Do you have an example of something that works only with Google? (I don't like Teslas either btw:-) )

- hombre_fatal 6y ago"Elm list" (my classic example) in Google gives me the documentation page for the List datastructure, "<language> <concept>" being my most common query when trying to get work done, like "javascript array" leading me to the MDN docs. I will say that DDG has finally improved to at least providing a random tutorial for the List as its first result, but it still doesn't provide official docs and also suspects I might be asking about trees. Google consistently understands what's being asked here and knows to rank canonical documentations highly.
- boogies 6y agoThat’s interesting. “C# list”, “java list”, “js list”, “lua list”, “nim list”, “php list”, “python list”, “rust list”, “scheme list”, “visual basic list”, “zig list”, all show canonical-looking docs at the top on DDG — some in convenient sidebars, which are one feature I prefer DDG’s implementation of.
- KorematsuFred 6y agoI do not have to convince anyone that Google is better. It is my personal experience, others can have a different experience. But my point was that I am not using google search because Google has somehow forced me to use them, the way IRS forces me to pay them or the way US government forces me to pay social security "contribution" to them or how most bay area cities force me to use PGnE for energy and force me to put ethanol my in car. Latter are all examples of coercion where as former is all about Google doing something better than others.
