Duckduckgo hasn't been any better for me lately. It seems like search as a whole is failing to respond to the latest round of SEO tricks. It takes a lot more work to find what I'm actually looking for, regardless of which engine I use.



DDG uses Bing as its search provider, and Bing isn't any better than Google right now when it comes to prioritizing ads and dark patterns[1].

You don't get the first page of ads on DDG though, a simple change of settings equals none at all.
