I use DDG exclusively now, but I will say, despite the downvotes from these annoying ass FOSS users, DDG is worse.
If I am having some very specific issue with my computer, I will be page 5 on DDG without an answer, but Google will have one page 1.
Also Google Images is light years ahead DDG.
It took a long time to adjust to DDG, but now I am fine with it.
This has always been my number one issue, too. I'm in IT and still struggle to use DDG (and Bing, tbf) for technical issues. The results are either only vaguely related to what I'm searching for, outdated as shit, or completely irrelevant. Automotive stuff is the same. I can be ass deep in DDG results and just be getting shit on top of shit. It's frustrating, because I want to love DDG but it makes it so hard for my general use-case.
