>I have been using DDG for a few years, and find a few problems with their results:

I've tried it a few times, this latest time I've been using it exclusively for a month or two and the results are almost completely worthless 95% of the time and I end up using the !g operator. In many cases the results have nothing to do with that I typed at all.

I've de-googled in every other way possible but Google's search engine is so much better than everything else I've tried that the rest are unusable.

I've heard it said before that Google's effectiveness is mostly due to the vast amount of information they have about me but that's not it. I've used lots of computers all over the East coast that I had never used before without logging into an account and Google gives good results every time.
