I'm astounded at how much better it is than the last time I tried it.
Switched to it in Chrome a few weeks ago and don't miss Google. Which is shocking to me.

It's been successfully bringing me the correct stackoverflow results I would expect when I need to search.
Plus, I'm really starting to like the bangs, which allow you to search language-specific docs directly without any setup.
For example, if you use a U2F key, you need an extension for that to work - and that extension doesn't work with FF 57. I honestly don't remember the last time something broke with Chrome.
Or smaller things, like the fact that I can't use the keyboard to manage bookmarks (in FF on macOS, backspace doesn't delete bookmarks).
But the worst is in FF, Ctrl+Shift+N isn't new incognito window, it's restore the previous window. Years of muscle memory don't go away overnight.
Firefox is an interesting choice but the Chrome plugin ecosystem seems much more complete for me than Firefox has today.
It'll be interesting to see what happens in the space. I was a Mozilla user, then Firefox and now Chrome user. I have no issue going to better platforms.
I've been trying to use DDG more, unfortunately I'm not so impressed. Quite often end up researching for Google.
