I’ve switched over to DDG as my default search engine across all devices/browsers. It’s not as good as Google - but it’s perfectly good enough for 95% of searches.
For that other 5%, it’s usually programming-related queries where everyday words take on new meanings. Since DDG doesn’t tailor search results, it has a harder time with some of my uncommon word usage.
For those, it takes two seconds to append “!g” at the end of the query to go to Google; it’s barely disruptive to my workflow. I’ve noticed myself doing that less and less since I switched in January. Perhaps a combination of DDG getting better, and me getting better at tailoring my queries for it.
