I keep giving DDG a go every couple of years. Haven't converted yet as much as I'd like to.

I found myself using the `!g` shortcut often enough after I switched that it didn't feel like I was getting enough of the privacy benefits to bother sticking with DDG.

As concerned as I am of Google's knowledge of me, I have to admit that they're good at showing me what I want to see.

I figure I don't lose much if I keep ddg as my default since adding !g is so quick.. Even if they only turn up the results that I want 30% of the time, that's 30% of my search traffic that Google doesn't get to see.
