I haven't used DDG much but I tried for a while to use Bing (which, I believe serves most of its organic search results in the US?), since Microsoft had a thing for a while where they'd basically pay you to use their search engine. But even with that, I eventually found myself back on Google. So I'm not inclined to try DDG for a while anyway. Whatever happened to Brave? Aren't they working on a search engine, too. Anyone know if that similarly uses Bing, Yandex, etc, for the search results or if they have their own crawler? It's been a while since I've looked in depth at user agent logs to see if Brave is making an appearance.

Brave are working on their search engine, they have been slowly inviting people to start using it (I got my invite a couple of weeks ago). As far as I know, it doesn't rely on other search engines for its results, although they do provide an optional setting to enable Google fallback in case a query doesn't return enough results, which mixes in Google results together with Brave's own. Overall, I've been finding it pretty good. It has information cards for various entities on the right-hand side, similar to all other search engines. You can additionally search for images, news, and videos.
