I’ve been using it this way for years. I don’t use google products at all now and don’t miss it.

I’ve been using Safari with DDG for ages.

Duck duck go needs a lot of work to replace Google search.

I've used it for years but often I still get the shits and just bring Google up after duck duck go fails to find what I'm looking for.

For me the direct opposite is true. About two years ago Google stopped giving me any accurate results, feeding me a bunch of semi-related garbage instead. DuckDuckGo feels like the Google of old: results that actually (literally) contain the terms of the query and not much else. I'd hate using the internet without it.

Duck duck go sucks for porn I stopped using it a while ago. Until they fix that I'm out.

Duck duck go is crap these days, probably since it uses Bing. All I ever get are "7 best ways to..." click bait, probably AI generated "articles".
