I wish them well too, and talk about them to privacy-minded friends, but I dont use them personally because I almost always wind up going to Google anyway... Edit: Its been some months, Ill give them another try.

I didn't really embrace DDG until I got the hang of all the bang commands. Make an effort to try those out and maybe you'll find the same.

I tried it, and the results aren't up to par with whatever I'm searching. They'll be forced to relinquish data like all the other companies when they get big enough.

I've noticed that people seem to think DDG is the only good privacy-conscious search engine out there. Lately I've been using StartPage[1], which simply passes through anonymized Google search results. So you don't have the same quality degradation as using DDG, and therefore never need to degrade your privacy for better results with !g. [1] https://startpage.com/eng/protect-privacy.html
