DDG is much faster than Google for me. All Google services are very slow when I'm logged in. GMail, Google Search, Finance, YouTube, everything. They can take 4-8 seconds to load a page, and sometimes they hang indefinitely.

Incognito mode or a different browser brings Google back to sub-second speeds, but it's frustrating enough that I set DDG as my default so that straightforward searches resolve quickly. I switch over with !g whenever I need better search results, news, etc.

This sounds like a legitimate and very bad bug. If you are willing to share your account name with me, as well as any other things you think could have triggered the slowness, or approximately when you think it started, etc, I'll happily report it to our own internal bug tracker. [email protected]
