Regional results (especially since the last update) feel as automatic as google. While I still hope they’ll add my suggestion of a bang for region switches, most queries I do don’t need one, and it properly switches between English and German.
All of the DDG bangs. Seriosuly, search without bangs is nothing I’d ever want to go back to.
Built-In Domain Blacklist. Goodbye Pinterest. Forever.
General results are great. More relevant results than either DDG or Google and a great presentation (like showing snippets from accepted or upvoted SO answers)
And I have not even played around with advanced filters like lenses (which people in their discord seem to love).
Negatives: So far, I’d say only that the widgets are less usable than DDGs.
I had low expectations, but I’m really very positively surprised.
