The unfortunate truth is that even as I do my level best to use another search engine, DuckDuckGo most recently, I still find myself disappointed and trying the Google results at least half the time.

I still think Google today isn’t as good as Google 10+ years ago, but I don’t think anything is as good as Google 10+ years ago. They don’t have to be flawless, they just have to be better than the rest, and they are. I settle for DuckDuckGo when I can, but when the results matter, I’ll still end up using Google.

Yeah, I'm on DDG but not too infrequently (particularly with news search) I find myself wondering why I can't find what I'm looking for before remembering to try !g and lo and behold Google is able to pull up what I'm looking for.
