Are you based in the US? I found them really bad for localized results outside of the US, even when local mode is enabled (although that's annoying to do manually). In the end I used !g for so many search queries that I switched back again.
- erdo 6y agoI'm in France, possibly I don't use the localisation feature much. (I actually do use it occasionally to find specialist retailers so I don't have to use Amazon, as it's easy to buy from any other EU country here. German based retailers for audio equipment, or France based retailers if I want to buy cooking equipment etc)
- dazc 6y agoI agree, for localised results Google is much better. I guess it depends what your normal search activity is to how much you'll notice the difference? For everyday searching I find DDG perfectly adequate and enjoy the ad-free, google-product-free experience. !G is handy sometimes though.
- UncleSlacky 6y agoFor European results at least, Qwant is pretty good (and like DDG doesn't log or track users): https://lite.qwant.com/ https://lite.qwant.com/
- account42 6y agoFunny, my main annoyance with google results lately is how much they push localized results when I don't want them at all.
