    I hope this takes off so DDG improves their search engine. I’ve tried to switch, but 2/3 of the time the results are off target and I end up back at Google anyway.

      I tried ddg too and wasn’t super happy, especially not when searching in a different language. I switched to Qwant and I’m very happy with it so can recommend trying that. There are other search engine options as well

      I’ve been using it for a couple of year now and I only double check Google maybe 1% of the time. And most of those times, I also can’t find what I am looking for on Google. I also can’t go back after getting used to the ! commands.

        I’m the same. I use Google maybe 1-2 times a year and only after exhausting my search terms in DDG, most of the time Google also can’t find what I’m looking for.
