A lot of these complaints are about the DuckDuckGo android browser, which I used to use and I did have performance issues with. Now I use Firefox mobile but I still have the DuckDuckGo search engine as default. In the past 3 years now of using DuckDuckGo, I less and less ever have to go to Google to find things. The few times I have gone to google, I actually got worse results so that's saying something. It might be due to the fact I'm used to the old way of search engines, before they knew everything about you to figure out what you actually want. I guess I just give them all the right keywords to find things I want, whereas a lot of regular google users just want the search engine to figure out what they are thinking (based on what Google knows about them). The claims on privacy are questionable. Ad-tech nowadays is so good that it can figure out what you're thinking based on micro-emotions/movements. You hover over a link for just a little bit? You scroll back to look at that picture another time? Your best friend shares a picture of their new thing? You're not as unpredictable as you think you are. The points on hiring practices are just irrelevant to the search engine, and highly subjective (I don't know nor care what they are actually complaining about)
