Interestingly according to the linked paper, DDG (and naturally Bing) are significantly performing worse than Google, even in the face of Google having gotten worse.
I always had a gut feeling about that when using DDG, but interesting to see the numerical difference. (31% vs 23% vs 9% spam)
DDG is worse, at least anecdotally. But kagi is much better. Looks like the researchers didn’t study that one though so no “proof”, but anecdotally I completely stopped using Google for search.
I keep hearing about Kagi, are they reputable? I moved from Google to DDG and I do a fair bit of searching so I would be interested, but I guess there’s a bit of a one-company-knowing-my-search-history going on (totally unironically).
I switched to DDG and then to Kagi based on all the praise it gets here. So much better than Google!

Other search engines can be worse, but if we keep using google and allowing them to have the monopoly, no search engine will ever get better.

I haven’t done extensive research, but as it’s a paid product, they have the user’s interest in mind, instead of ad revenue.
