On average worse than Google but not without its pleasures. Much worse on "long tail" searches and non-English terms. I went back to Google.

To be fair what really made me move away was that their page load times were much slower. Now that I live in a country that is closer to DDG's servers I may give them another go.

My experience is similar. A small notch worse than Google, but enough that I didn't stick on it. It's a good example of how we just can't go back, for almost any reason.

I like the idea of less tracking and less personalization. But it turns out I'm not willing to sacrifice almost anything for it.

The internet is so unkind to close seconds.
