Strange how Google became the default search engine back in the day because they were so good at filtering out the dumb websites that just spam search terms all over the page.
They've regressed and become Yahoo
Except there isn't much of a Google stealing their thunder. Bing isn't better. DDG isn't better.
DDG is better, but only in the sense that Google got so bad that now it’s worse than it.
I've found DDG to be adequate for the majority of things I search, but when I need something specific or with some nuance, it fails miserably. For that reason I still use Google when I do stuff for work, or when I do troubleshooting. For my daily usage DDG is just fine, though.
