I use DDG every day as my default search engine across desktop & mobile. It’s good but the search isn’t as always as helpful as Google. If you need to you can just add !g to the search terms and get redirected to Google.

Hell yeah. I consider myself privacy paranoid and have been using DuckDuckGo for 5 years without any problems so far. It is pretty strict about its privacy policy.

There will always be some compromises and depends on your thread model. While DDG is not perfect, I still use it daily as it's not GOOGLE. I also try other search engine as well like Brave.

It may be good for privacy, however, in the past month or so, I have noticed it is incredibly slow to display the search results.
