Why will it suck? Google would be pulling Search not their other products. Google Search isn’t that much better, and sometimes worse, than competitors.

- thu2111 6y agoAs someone who has had their default search engine set to DuckDuckGo for the past couple of years, I'm afraid I have to disagree (DDG is mostly Bing). Google search results are objectively much better to the extent that if it weren't for the !g trick to redirect a DDG search to Google I wouldn't use it at all. Sometimes I even find myself adding !g to a search before even seeing the DDG results at all because I have already developed an intuition that they will suck. For better or worse, Google started with search and is still by far the best at it. Its competitors are sometimes acceptable in comparison, sometimes not. I can't think of any searches where they're actually better except in cases where I just don't trust Google to offer trustworthy results due to the political activism of their staff (which is why I now default to DDG despite having worked for Google for a long time).
