Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad? (lemmy.ml)

So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.

I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).

I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

I have good experience with brave search, after I moved away from the crap Qwant actually is

Qwant is that bad? I remember hearing decent things about it a few years ago but I never got around to trying it because it's blocked in my country for some god forsaken reason.
