Came here to see if anyone had a reason to use it over DDG. DDG is pretty great and you can always add !g to your query to jump to Google if you really need to (and don't mind the data being shared with any government that asks, of course).
I've switched to DuckDuckGo a while ago but didn't know this feature, thanks! I for some reason had expected a lower quality but it's pretty effective as a search engine so I'm content.
