Same here. I tried DDG years ago and gave up pretty quickly because it wasn't there, then tried again more recently and was positively impressed, but it still lacked some accuracy, then I tried again last year and made the switch. So is DDG better than Google to me? Nope, and hopefully it will never be, because the only way to get on par with Google, let alone beating them, would imply on DDG side to get as much data as possible about me just like Google does, which would defeat their entire raison d'etre. So I'm okay with DDG being slightly less accurate, and when it doesn't find what I'm looking for I revert to Google for that single search. Currently I use Google on the average from zero to 3 times per day, which is ok. That's however a choice by someone who values his privacy more than having to press a few more keys or waiting a bit more time to find something; I wouldn't expect the average user to agree with this. DDG could one day conquer hearts and minds of most technical people, but going beyond that will make an entirely different and much harder challenge.
