I've been using DDG primarily for about two years now.

It mostly works well enough.

Since I use Vimium, when it doesn't, redoing the search on Google is just a few keystrokes:

gi<Control-a>!g Enter

That's 'gi' for 'focus text input', Control-a for beginning of line, add the DDG "google this" shortcut, press return.

It's in my spinal cord, and I don't need it that often anyway.

Vimium (for Firefox at least) supports custom search engines so you can do:

og<space> my-search<enter>

'o' for open and 'g<space>' to select Google as search engine.

Oh, thanks! I hadn't realized that was an option.
