I've been using DDG regularly since 2012 or so. For most of that time the results have been great. I sometimes read comments about how people struggle with switching from Google to DDG, and I always thought those comments were.. "nonsense" is a strong word, but "not at all my experience", anyway.
But yeah, in the last.. maybe a year, DDG results have gone to shit. I've actually started using the !g on occasion, which I had never been using before. (The !g results are not good either, but a lot of times they are bad in a different way at least.)
I don't know. Maybe searching is just terrible in general now.
- fakedang 4y agoSimilar observations: there was a point in time last year when DuckDuckGo was better than Google in terms of search, especially programming and code related searches. But recently I've found that DDG has been tossing up shit my way - went back to Google with a lot of disappointment.
