I moved to DDG a couple of years ago, and initially, I found myself often using the `!g` switch, but I honestly can't recall the last time I needed to do that. Only when I'm shopping do I find the goog to be a slightly better tool for finding products sold by niche suppliers.
I honestly think google's monopoly on search at this time is 100% powered by momentum, there is almost no other reason to use it over something like DDG or hell, even Bing!
- Voultapher 2y agoBasically exactly the same thing here. It used to be that google had the better results, but DDG got a little better and google a lot more shit, so here we are I'm pre-filtering what I look for.
- nickpsecurity 2y agoSame here. DDG usually works fine for me. Even more so if using advanced techniques like quotes for keywords and - to remove junk.
- davemp 2y agoI’ve been on ddg for years too, but I’d say their results quality has dropped as well. I haven’t really been happy with either recently.
