I don't know nor care if Google's search would give me better results: I get what I need from DDG. AFAIK the same holds (in reverse) for the vast majority of Google search users.
Ufortunately not for me. I shall try DDG yet again (every year or so) mainly because on the three network on my phone Google makes me do captchas to search every so often (proxying many requests per IP I think)! I'm quite happy with their open source contributions even if they could be greater and less annoying at times such as Android bootloaders and blocking apps like Netflix on LineageOS even if that is also Netflix dumb choice. I think bing/duck/startpage etc. are fine and then I will be searching for something that I know exists and crickets and Google brings it straight up and I wonder what else I hadn't been finding. -- Regards, Kc
