Been using DuckDuckGo for a month or two. It's mostly good enough for me.
I've been using it for years and have never looked back.
DDG is my default and a very good engine, however, it does struggle with search results in my native language.
You should. It uses Bing for its searches. So you are censored to oblivion.
What's being censored? You have control over safesearch, and searching phrases verbatim returns all sites where that phrase exists.
Safesearch (NSFW) ≠ Censorship (Political, Government Posts, etc.)
Gonna need to see a legit source on that that doesn’t read like right-wing nutjobbery or Russian botnik drivel.
I might be mistaken, but IIRC Bing is only one of the data sources DDG uses.
Honestly a good chunk of time its a better experience than google was
