Switched my default search engine to DuckDuckGo. Let’s see if I can stick with it! So far, I’ve got better results than Google

I’ve been using it for a year. Results are generally good but if they’re not, just add !g and it searches on Google

For code, it can be a little eh. Google is more consistent. But prefer it as my default on principle.

I’ve been trying Ecosia for a bit. Worse results maybe, but nowadays I feel like I’m doing searches in specific places (Slack, YouTube) more than a general search engine

Been on DDG as default mobile search browser for years - occasionally have to google for some things but good for everyday use

Been on it for 6 months. Has been similar to google, sometimes better sometimes worse. It's particularly worse for geolocalized data (maps is really good for search).

Been using DDG for a couple of years now. It failed to stick a few times, but Google got worse as much as DDG got better.

I’ve started to just ask questions to GPT-3 for most Google queries. Seems to get me what I want with less sifting through sites.

I did that a while back but not happy with the results Yes the privacy might be better but this comes at the cost of convenience - the age old tradeoff I guess. So I find myself going to google frequently after starting with ddg
