Anecdotal evidence, but I swapped out Google for DDG about 5-6 years back and haven’t missed it. I do use Google sometimes but it’s once in 4-5 months when DDG fails me, which is acceptable to me.
Same here, I can usually find everything within the first 3-4 entries unless it’s a bit too abstract than it ends up at the bottom of the 1st page. I don’t understand people complaining about it so much as I depend on search engines for day to day and work related stuff so literally several times everyday. Although it’s possible I got used to how it works but if so then I would have had to swap between ddg and google alot if the quality actually was that low.
DDG just kinda sucks for basic information. When I took up a business, google gives me the location, phone number and some relevant information about the business. DDG gives me their website.
Do you know how many scams happen because it’s ridiculously easy for anyone to edit the “knowledge” panel? I’d rather click an extra button and get the real number from the business’ own website than trust whatever is on Google.
“You’re not this obtuse are you?” – uncalled for, but, I guess you are who you are. So, you do you, buddy.
This is beyond stupid. The panel gives basic information, if you’re making anything beyond a decision to follow up based on that you deserve whatever you get. I also know how easy it is to manipulate the website. Information is malleable, it seems your brain is not.
I am. In this case though the stupidity presented warrants being noted. stupid ass bitches crying over being called stupid ass bitches isn’t anything new.

Yeah I’m the same. I’ve got DDG set as my default search, if the results aren’t useful then I go to google as backup.

…and the website should have all that information, right?
Sure, one option provides it immediately the other requires you to perform additional steps.
Guess which one’s going to be more popular amongst the general public? You’re not this obtuse are you?

Are you completely incapable of communicating without resorting to personal attacks?
