I gave DuckDuckGo an honest shot for a few months a couple of years ago.
I had to give it up, sadly. The results were just not good enough. I'd love to get away from google, but having less than perfect search had a surprisingly large impact on my day-to-day work.
Just one instance of "I couldn't find anything about x . . . " where a manager responds "I found it in 10 seconds on Google" is probably enough to send just about anyone running back to Google for work-related searches.
- armoredkitten 6y agoI agree that Google is still just a better search engine, and that sucks. But I still try to do my search on DDG first -- if I find what I'm looking for, great! If I haven't found it after a few seconds, I open Google and search there. At most, I've wasted a few seconds. But even if it means Google has some data on me, if I can divert 40% (or more) of my searches to DDG, that's 40% less data Google has on my search history.
