It may be good for privacy, however, in the past month or so, I have noticed it is incredibly slow to display the search results.

More than privacy I am looking for something that works better than Google, which has become borderline unusable with tons of AI and autogenerated webpages as the top results. I was using Bing but it really annoyed me when they started pushing their AI on every search. Using DDG now and I can deal with the ads, that’s how they make money, and the results seem Ok.
yes, at least to begin with. i personally use searx and change instances often, but use ddg on mobile
Is DDG’s search results good, better, or about the same as Google or Bing?

I prefer using DDG or Firefox, however my device I lower end and I find that Brave works best on it.
But I use DDG for my search engine.
