I used DDG for a long time, it's crap, I switched back to Google, I suspect a lot of people would do the same. There isn't a lot of competition.

I tired Kagi, it's good too, but I didn't feel like the cost was justified when Google is free. Also I think I will try again.

I'm 10x happier with Kagi than Google, and I was very skeptical (having followed Google's devs very closely as acquisition specialist for ~10+y). If you can afford Kagi, I'm curious to know why you don't stick with it. Or I'll assume that because the Google brand is just too strong, in which case we have a particular case of a monopoly.

My credit card was expired and I just couldn't to have been bothered to update my payment details.

Worth retrying now. I tried again recently and the results are so much better. Combine that with the domain block/raise/pin feature and the search engine is way ahead.
