> When I first switched from Google to DDG I found myself using g! all the time

lol, I did the exact same thing! After a month of that, I just went back to Google :(. Google's results are just so damn good.

View on HN

Try !s for Startpage when DDG doesn't have what you want. Startpage uses Google's index and is quite good. DDG and StartPage together give me more (and higher quality results) without Google's obnoxiously deceptive ads.

That was me a couple of years ago, I've tried DDG every year since it was announced on HN as a project. Google got worse and DDG got better, I use DDG mostly now (also Kagi and Brave, Google, and very occasionally Bing).
