I tried DDG in the past for privacy reasons but struggled due to poor results. Recently I switched to DDG because of poor results on Google. On certain controversial subjects, Google seems to how filtered out many results for political or advertiser pressure reasons. Even on non political results, the wrong sorts of sites seems to be pushed to the top.

That is because DDG is not a real search engine, since they do not index the web (at least by the 2019 meaning of the word). Unless you are search in Russian, DDG is basically Bing search results.
