I've been using DuckDuckGo for a long time now and I find Google to generally be worse than DDG. A lot of crap in the results (SEO doing his bit I guess), more pages taken down in the results and terrible UI. The code preview cards are great for copy pasting from stack overflow without even opening the thread. Bangs let you search something in another engine if you can't find what you're looking for. The only times when I need to use Google are: - checking opening times of businesses - checking maps, as Google maps is the only decent thing out there - I never use Google images but DDG images safe filter doesn't catch everything (you get nsfw in images - maybe this has been fixed, but I experienced it as an issue in the years)
