(In your opinion)
I’m using DDG, but I’m not satisfied with it. The quality of answers is subpar and I find myself switching to google or LLMs when I’m researching some things where community opinion matter (for some reason reddit and forums are undervalued by DDG algorithm).
I could try daily driving alternatives, but I know I will be biased and it will noticably slow down my workflows.
There’s nothing they can do to harm me with that data at an institutional level. That data is worthless to me.
