It's been dodgy and worsening towards dire ever since they did the brand and recency updates.

Mind I'm finding I need Google less at all lately. When I first switched to DDG maybe 20% of my searches were pushed to !g. Now it's very rare, maybe a few percent, and when I do Google almost never gives better results.

I agree, started to notice in google search last year about this time (maybe i getting older) or maybe DDG started to serve better results. Nowadays, I use google rarely in this year i can't remember when get better results than DDG, but maybe it just my bias
