Funny thing there is that the quality of Google Search results have absolutely dropped off a cliff for me in the last two years. I'm finding frequently that duckduckgo provides more relevant results with a better UI and faster loading times.
Google's gotten so good with all that, that they've got me by the balls.

If, for any reason, I want google. I just append !g to the search.
For example I prefer google when searching restaurants or brick and mortar places with a phone number. dDDG piggy backs on Yelp which isn’t great sometimes and out of date. So I just revert to piping it to google.
Interestingly IT/devops/languange related searches have marketdly improved with DDg and I can get consistent results (ie using the same search string later). Google will often give me random garbage from places that are regularly unhelpful like Microsoft’s answers pages etc.
If you search anything that has a political interest, it is better to use DDG but everything else Google does it better.
