I use DDG by default, but sadly it's quite noticeably worse than Google, so I end up having to override it frequently :(

I also use DDG by default. I only rarely go to google and more than half the time when I do, Google's results are no better. I find that usually adjusting my DDG query is more effective than trying Google.

I have a weird search FOMO thing where after I DDG something, I will often throw the !g into it to see the Google results for the same term, to make sure I got the "best" or most comprehensive result. And usually the DDG result was fine in comparison. But I'm finding it hard to trust it and stop the habit.

DDG has been my default for a few years, now, and on the very rare occasions I've been forced/mistakenly use Google, their results have been without exception worse. Much worse.
