Inferior how?

For my purposes its results aren't as good. But also overall it provides much better privacy and isn't intrusive.

Then - for folks who equally value these three things - ddg isn't inferior. When I can't find something on DDG, I use Google. Or if I'm pretty sure I won't find it, I start with Google. But I normally start - and end - my searches with DDG. For me DDG is not inferior to GSE.
