    their search engine is better than everyone else’s

    It’s not though. You never even get to see what the competition would be because they lock competitors out of the market.

    I’m really happy about the case against them. This trial is uncovering a bunch of dirty tricks they use. They have far too much power and far too much of our data and are abusing it.

      Google is 100% better than the rest. I switched to DDG a few months back and I regularly have to go back to google for technical stuff. DDG oftentimes does not even serve the homepage of a searched company on the first page of the results, lol.

        DDG’s general site search is so fucking bad. It’s borderline unusable compared to Google and I’ve wasted way too much time trying to find stuff with it. Their image search seems better than Google’s, though. Google Images always gives me fake PNGs with false transparency and shit like that.

        I switched to DDG recently after realising how much worse Google is for giving good results. After doing so on a trial basis, I’m now switching on all my devices as it’s just overall a better search experience for me. (Even if DDG is just Bing.)
