Every month I fallback less to Google, from DDG. Google is becoming ABetterSearchForAmazon.

Just now I was searching for flares,and after 5 attempts with different keywords I could not even get the Wikipedia page, just ads and blog spam for boating flares. Went to ddg and got informative links and the wiki entry first try.

Google is garbage, has been for quite some time.

And ABetterSearchForReddit. That's about it for me, besides local searches.

I've found DuckDuckGo to have more spam than Google in a lot of cases.
