So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.

I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).

I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

How long has Google been this bad?

Thanks for sharing - didnt know. Thats a long list ..... So which search engine is good and privacy friendly then?

It depends on what you're trying to be private from. Kagi has been good to me so far, my goal is mainly to escape from corporate/ad profile tracking.

Kagi is great. Excellent search results for the most part, better than either DDG or Google in my experience.
