Is ddg actually good now? I remember it feeling nearly useless waay back when it was first hitting the scene. Might have to give it a shot again

I'm not a power user, but I've used DDG exclusively for a while now and I often forget that I'm using it. I'd say it's a pretty seamless transition nowadays.

You actually get the results you are looking for without the sponsored links. Sometimes you end up searching for reddit results but that's every search engine.

Not kagi. I haven’t specified Reddit once since switching to kagi. It really is that much better than DDG and Google.

I only use Google if DDG can't find what I'm looking for. Usually Google doesn't either if DDG can't so lately I've been giving up after the DDG results. I can't stand Google anymore. The first page of results is just ads and the next page is all irrelevant nonsense.
