I primarily use it. What sucks about it? It isn't as flashy without those little quick answers that Google throws together, but those are garbage a lot of the time anyway imo. Otherwise, I don't really have any issues finding what I need that I can think of

You are not going to get a more constructive criticism from OP.

I use mainly ddg but I have occasionally needed to switch to Google, but it's happening less and less.

But then again with Google you need to frequently add keywords such as discussions or Reddit to find something that in the word's of OP doesn't suck balls.

Only thing I miss is Google shopping sometimes. That actually is really useful when you need a super obscure part that's not available on ebay or Amazon and just sold on three random websites. Google shopping will show them and let you compare prices perfectly.

I have been trying to use it for years but it just literally has a lot of issues with pretty normal search queries that worked perfectly on Google 15 years ago.

I want it to be good. But it's not.

I mean, Google has problems with the results they would have given 15 years ago, that's why people are switching.

I'm aware Google has gotten worse. DDG is much worse imo but still use it daily hoping it will improve because fuck Google

I find the results suck donkey balls.
