The trick about using DDG is their !bang [1] notation, which you can use to pipe searches directly into the search of another site. ( At least for many large sites.) Especially, if you prefix your search with !g you will get the Google result page for that search. This is of course a privacy vs usability trade off, but Google still sees only a few searches. With this, I actually think that DDG beats Google as search engine, since quite often I want to just search Wikipedia (!w) or Stackexchange (!se) and in this cases DDG takes me directly to these sites.
