I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for a few years and can recommend it. Try it. There is no reason to wait. If you are not happy with a search result, prepend !g to your search query and DDG redirects you to Google search.

I wanted to switch but DDG is noticeably slow in South America compared to Google. Meanwhile I've been using private windows for all searches for over 3 years already. Hopefully it helps a bit with the bubble issue.

Noticeably slow for me in southeast Asia as well. Other issue is I ended up using !g on half my searches anyway.

Switched to DDG a few weeks ago and can count on one hand the amount of times I've needed to !g

I switched to DDG a while ago and while I do occasionally add !g to my query, I can count on one hand the number of times that it's actually helped. Usually if DDG doesn't give me good results, Google doesn't either.

FYI you can append the bangs (!g) to the query line as well as prepend.
