    DDG is shit.

    Even as a pale shadow of its former self Google is head and shoulders above the competition, unfortunately.

      I’m really interested in why you think this. What’s your qualifications for these?

        Effective search results.

        Two recent examples:

        • searching for the open hours of a local shop, google gives it to me. DDG gives me other places far away and no hours listed in the results.
        • searching for a web cartoon involving praying mantises. Google gives me four different cartoons. DDG gives me two cartoon-style drawings of a praying mantis and a ton of photos of praying mantises.

          The other way around though, when I was recently searching for the new nvidia linux beta drivers, DuckDuckGo gave me the official nvidia site as the first result. Google didn’t even have it on the first page.
