@ottaross Maybe it depends on what you’re searching, and this is all anecdotal of course. But I can’t count how many times over the past year I’ve typed something into DDG basically knowing what I’m looking for (checking my knowledge) and been met with a wall of obvious slop from generically named websites. Google will also surface things like Reddit or forums where, especially if you have a problem, people are actually discussing that problem and a solution to it. No such luck on DDG.

@ottaross Kind of pointless branding when the top 15 search results are all LLM generated websites anyways. The quality on DDG has fallen off hard in the past two years and unfortunately it seems Google is way ahead in terms of surfacing real information
