Duckduckgo's innovations are pretty cool, especially bang-commands (to search on google maps, add "!m" to your query).
But the underlying search is Bing.
Perhaps Google is personalized and Bing doesn't, or perhaps DDG doesn't pass a uid token to Bing, but it's just not as good actual results, which matter to me about 10% of the time. (Luckily, the query parameters to google.com/search are the same as to duckduckgo.com/ so a simple massage of the URL works well.)

- lsb 15y agoWell, I'll be jiggered.
- snowwindwaves 15y agoI came to the same conclusion after switching from google to duck duck go for 2 months. I found what I was looking for faster with google.
