I’ve been using DDG for ages now and tested it against Google a handful of times over that course.
They were nearly identical in search returns. Bing, Yahoo, etc have all caught up to where search just isn’t a thing anymore. Not like how it used to be when Google first dropped and was light years ahead.
And not for nothing but Google has been caught exploiting their search results so not sure if I’d be looking to them as the shining beacon they once were.
Ddg is just a privacy wrapper for bing now
And Yahoo. Maybe more since I haven’t checked since like 2015. But yes, DDG is not technically a search engine they just anonymize the query before sending it.
