    I switched to duck duck go back in the day cause I felt like the quantity of bullshit (not the ads but the ones that are supposed to help you with your search) were detrimental to my “keyword picking ability”… now going back to Google feels unreal

      Same here. DDG is so much better. And I love that I can do !mcwiki diamond to search the minecraft wiki for “diamonds”

      I ended up switching because Google changed their image search design that was just so much more difficult to browse

        My problem with ddg is that I can’t refine my search by excluding keywords, only by adding more. For example, it’s frustrating if I’m looking to buy a product locally and half the page is Amazon results.
