I will be honest, say there's a new law that says on every device, users have the initial choice to select between any search engine, they'll probably choose google anyways because most of these people have grown up that way.
Make a better alternative and people will come. Ddg is ok but it still is basically a reskinned Bing and Bing itself isn't that good. Other search engines aren't as polished yet either
I switched from DuckDuckGo to Startpage and it has been much better. Problem is, Startpage is just a reskin of google without the AI crap and fewer ads so there is no real escape.
