I've been a happy DDG user for about 3 years now. I initially started not because of privacy, but because I think the home page and search results are much cleaner and more minimalist. And I've told myself that if Google ever produces a search result that I couldn't find just as easily with DuckDuckGo then I will switch back. So far that hasn't happened.
Now I use DuckDuckGo as my home page and it's my only search engine. And the search results just keep getting better and better.
- DanielStraight 13y agoThis has been my experience as well. I have used DDG as my primary search engine for years. The results have been great, and the lack of !bangs on Google makes it extremely frustrating when I'm forced to use it. (Note for DDG users, you can type the bang on its own to go right to the main site. So just "!w" on its own to go to Wikipedia, or "!a" on its own to go to Amazon, which I find quicker than using the address bar.)
- crassus 13y agoGoogle doodles are distracting. I don't need to see a clever flash game commemorating something-or-other every time I open a new tab when I'm working, thanks.

- vacri 13y agoThe games aren't flash, and they don't show up on either the search bar in your browser or the search results page.
- dredmorbius 13y agoThe Summer Olympics games were really, really annoying. I don't recall many doodle since, as I'm not using Google much and rarely from the homepage even then.
