Its better in all regards.

I wish it was true. My strategy is to use ddg in first try to find something and switch to google when ddg ducks in wrong way. Currently google is better in images and searching for "this particular site" instead of answer on any site

Ehhh. DDG is dog shit but all search engines are dog shit now.

I truly wish this was true. But for work, everything I search on ddg is just not useful

I tried DDG many times for work. Often I don’t find the result I want at all. I try different queries and all, but I only find barely relevant shit. I switch to Google, and immediately the top result is exactly what I want.

Exactly the opposite for me
