DDG has been my default search engine for many many years and I have to admit that I've also noticed their results have gone downhill. Some of the irrelevant results that appear lately seem to be trying to guess at my location, which is odd since DDG was marketed as offering unbiased and impersonal results intended to break you out of your typical filter bubble.

They also stopped letting me filter results I don't want. "office -microsoft" for example returns pages of microsoft office links. "apple -id" returns results with "apple id" in the title and body.

I don't know if this is due to DDG specific changes, or if bing has gotten that much worse, but either way I'm having to G! a whole lot more than I'd care to.
