I've fully switched to DDG. I still bounce over to google maybe 5-10% of the time, but to me that's a pretty big win. 90-95% of the time I avoid being tracked by google at the cost of 5-10% of the time wasting a few seconds skimming results on ddg before jumping to google.

You can make a more specific query instead.

  Actually, this in anecdotal, but i believe most of the cases where ddg lets me down are when the query is VERY specific. More general searches seem to have no diff between google and ddg results.

    This is my intuition as well. As soon as the query gets too specific, I'll just tack on a "!g".

      This is precisely my approach. I’m an engineer so sometimes need to make very esoteric searches, but I’ve been using DDG for coming up on 10y.
