Anyone acting like DuckDuckGo provides even close to as relevant results as Google is lying to themselves.

This also doesn't mention Maps, YouTube, YouTube, or AdWords/AdSense which make up 95% of Google's non-Cloud revenue.

Yeah, I gave up on DDG recently. The results were often useless and I was typing "!g <query>" 90% of the time. I decided to just save myself the trouble and set Google back as my default search.

And I feel like a lot of the desktop/work-type queries DuckDuckGo compares the best at.

Try any query requiring some kind of serious recency bias or locality on DuckDuckGo. Completely useless.
