Why do people still use Google search? I switched years ago. It was easy. I don't regret.

About every 6 months I try to migrate to DDG, and historically there has always been something pertaining to organic search relevancy that has lured me back to the devil’s embrace.

That said, I’m going to give it a go again. Just switched the default back to DDG.

Learn bangs!

95% of my searches, DDG is fine and I've learnt where it might struggle and I just end the search with !g

This then searches Google, yeah I'm still using Google for 5% of my searches but it's better than 100%.

Or use !start to search startpage.
