Apple held talks with DuckDuckGo to replace Alphabet's Google as the default search engine for the private mode on Apple's Safari browser, the Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the discussions.
It does show you more relevant results based on your query, withou doing any guessing about what you might have meant by it.
That being said, sometimes I use Google to search for something when DDG is giving me bad results.
But overall I would recommend, it’s muxh more better experience with the results I am seeing.
I have tried Bing for a while as well, but it was thinking too much instead of just showing me the results.
The only reason I had to use Google was to search by image. Which is a feature DDG doesn’t have sadly.
For specific search, I found perplexity.ai to be much better and faster, it uses AI to scan the websites and give summaries as to why they are relevant to your query.
Is ddg any good?
I feel like Bing would just be better at this point.
Ddg is Bing with less tracking. I mean, literally it is Bing.
After 2 years of exclusive use: yes. It’s just as good if not better. Google is filled with ads and Bing just sucks.
DDG is bing.
*modified bing
Bing does potentially have slightly worse results, what with the “personalized” (tracking-based, ad/promoted) results. But yeah.

Ddg results are pretty horrible in my experience. Statpage (google results) and brave search both have better results.
Brave Search is awful for non-English results. Startpage is decent but only because it’s basically Google results.
I can’t speak to non-English results, and I agree Startpage is just a Google proxy.
Shout out to startpage! I use it almost exclusively and it is great.
