> Another person notes that ddg is inferior

I'll agree with this too. Thing is, 99.XX% of the time DDG works fine. 1% of the time if I can't find a thing, I try with google and probably 50% of the time I can then find what I wanted. E.g. DDG has a 99.5% success rate, Google has a 99.75% success rate. Not too bad by DDG, as I know that last .25% is REALLY hard.

Either way, google is seeing only a tiny % of my search queries, so I'm happy.

Of note, I switched to DDG earlier this year. I've tried to do it in the past and found that the DDG/Google ratios were like 80%/99+% in the past, which is WAY too much of a tradeoff to make. DDG has MASSIVELY improved, I'm using google search <1/day now.
