I totally disagree that DDG has to replicate the Google service stack to become successful. I am actually more inclined to use an alternate engine for my searches considering how much info Google already has on me, and how difficult it would be to distance myself from that profile if the time arised. I have already disabled Web History and Search History, but I feel more comfortable using a totally separate service. I still use Google as primary despite multiple attempts to switch to DDG over the last 3 years. While I have found DDG superior for generic informational queries, it has been, in my experience, much worse for finding source documents of quotes I remember loosely or searching for error messages, so I always find myself headed back to Google. Would love to switch to a search-dedicated search engine.
