Been using DDG in Firefox for the past ~5 years or so. About 50% of my searches give me exactly what I'm looking for within the first few results. 20% require a little more digging, maybe adjusting my search terms. 30% are nearly total garbage and I just re-run it with !g. I'm not going to switch though because for the most part it's "good enough" and I want to see that hockey stick trend continue.

I'm usually frustrated with the technical searches the most. If I do something simple like search for "django queryset model update" I will get nearly a full page of SEO spam that's literally just copies of the real django docs site before I even get to the actual docs page. This has gotten somewhat better recently, but it's still not nearly as good as Google. Maybe because Google knows what I click on when I search for these things so it just goes right to it. It's a tradeoff, I guess. Although I do often feel like I'm punishing myself with this.
