DDG user here, I’m not even sure most people would need g! anymore. I recently came across a Google search results page, and was surprised how unrecognizable it has become. Instead of giving me a page full of search results, it was presenting me with a page full of Google-curated content. At this point, Google is basically unusable for me as a search engine.
- JohnFen 5y agoI think it's been two years since I've used the g!
- mrweasel 5y agoMostly if DDG can't find something, chances are that neither can Google. We've also reached a point where the Google result pages are now ads the first half page. Fair enough that they want/need to make money, but it seems a little excessive.
- avnigo 5y agoI’m a full time DDG user, but I still use !g sometimes. For some reason DDG is not great with discussion boards like any forum, stackoverflow, reddit etc., especially if the posts are too recent.
