The problem is Google objectively provide better search results. I'm a DDG user as well this is my opinion -- DDG is my chosen default because of their stance on privacy.
If it turns out DDG isn't offering much privacy as they claim then back to Google. It's not enough to make me switch right now but I am watching to see where this hockey puck goes.
- cestith 4y agoIn my experience whether Google provides better results or not heavily depends on what sort of information you're seeking. Things I used to find easily on Google suffer both from a serious recency effect and are SEO-manipulated half to death. Try finding anything from more than a few years ago, and the first dozen pages are often more recent pages about more recent topics that happen to have some similar words involved but are less topical to the actual search.

- bsedlm 4y agomy mileage varies... but when ddg's results are useless, it's possible to add !g in any part of the query and it'll redirect (which for some reason forces me to refresh everyonce in a while before google's results appear)
