DDG has to get a lot better before that's going to happen, sorry.

DDG has actually been a lot better when searching than Google ever has for me. The top posts aren't always ads, I don't have to keep rephrasing everything to find what I'm looking for, it's been great.

If you want a better alternative, Kagi is better than Google in my experience.

Kagi is paid unfortunately. That might not be a bad thing but it's going to really hurt adoption when "free" Google still exists.

It's not about mass adoption for me. It's about not giving Google my info to resale. You should do what's best for you, not what is going to get adopted enmass. I do see how you could've taken my recommendation as 'killing google' given the parent comment, though. Unfortunately Google isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but that doesn't mean you have to use it.

I didn't say it's going to kill Google at all.

DDG has to get a lot better before that's going to happen, sorry.
