It's funny, I usually have the opposite experience. I try to use DDG as much as possible for ideological reasons, but I find myself coming back to Google search most of the time because I get better results.
- Engineering-MD 6y agoDepends how niche it is. More niche things google does well on: that error code, that specific game discussion on Reddit. Duck duck go now does better on searches which will be optimised for google by businesses.
- billiam 6y agoI think it is shaped by your searches. When I am searching for some math term to help my kid do his homework !G is better, but for anything business or media related I stick with DDG results. Not just affiliate links but literally hijacking search with their own content is insufferable.
