I can't agree more, Google just doesn't cut it anymore, it's pretty terrible these days.
As well as DuckDuckGo I use StartPage, https://www.startpage.com/ https://www.startpage.com/, and Mojeek, https://www.mojeek.com/ https://www.mojeek.com/, they're not a universal panacea but they often find items that Google doesn't find. I'm surprised how good they can be given they're much smaller operations.
The secret is to break the habit of using only one search engine. To save time I use multiple browsers with a different search engine as homepage on each. Moving between each is quick and easy.
Using multiple browsers also reduces tracking/fingerprinting, etc.

Moving between each is quick and easy. As a tip, checkout DDG Bangs https://duckduckgo.com/bangs https://duckduckgo.com/bangs eg type "jazz music!yt" and it will do a youtube search, !s for startpage, !g for google etc
- hilbert42 3y agoThanks for the info. Great idea, will try it. Likely very useful. What I didn't say in the first post was that some browsers have JS turned off (I normally run that way), so I switch browsers on-the-fly when JS is absolutely necessary (some have other switches as well). Still, it ought to integrate well into at least one of my browsers (there are five on this phone).
