  It’s garbage outside of the US for local results. Bing is somewhat better, but still not good enough. In the US though, plenty of good alternatives to Google search

    DDG is only garbage for not personalised search results.

    Which is kind of the point in a privacy driven search engine.

    DDG literally has a search filter to search only websites belonging to a certain country.

    I’m outside the US and I’ve been using DDG exclusively on every device for about 5 years now. It’s excellent.

    I’m outside US (Philippines), most searches are local as long as your country is set on DDG settings.

  I honestly might have to look into it then. Google is still pretty decent got me but I’m just finding myself either using Reddit to find an answer or asking chat gpt (purely excel related questions)

    I’ve had DDG as my default search engine on my iPhone ever since AMP pages became annoying. I have to use Google about once a month. Otherwise DDG is pretty good.
