I’ve been using DDG as my default for years and it really fails to provide me helpful results for programming and Linux questions. I know this because I frustratingly have to add !g to queries all the time lately and I’m questioning my choice to default to DDG.

That said, I don’t like being tracked. It’s not clear to me if the quality of results I am seeing are due to Google’s tracking or not. (I suppose I could research this but I’ve not done so.)

It has improved for me to the point I don't use !g anymore. Maybe subconciously I now do queries that fit DDG better. Anyway, I get the answer I want so can now live without Google.
