I've been trying to use DDG for over a year now and it's not all roses either. Very frequent !g's.

Overall it feels a little bit like self-flagellation which I'm hoping is for the greater good, that DDG's algo will improve with use and eventually I won't need !g anymore.

Maybe DDG needs a browser extension that let's you seamlessly provide feedback with every !g to teach them what you were actually looking for.

You are calling it seamlessly providing feedback because it is DDG. If this was about Google or Facebook, it could have sounded closer to 'tracking users'.

Yup, I hate DDG at this point. While having it as my main search on every browser/device. If there are better alternatives I'd love to know about them.

At the very least, you could use !s (for StartPage) to get Google’s results without the tracking.
