I have been using Duck for a few years now and I honestly prefer it to Google at this point. I'll sometimes switch to Google if I don't find anything on Duck, but that happens once every three or four months, if that.

I only go to the googs for maps.

Same here. I only switch to google to search for images for memes. For some reason bing has a harder time finding random star trek scenes.

The one thing Google still has over Duck for me at this point is reddit results. So much niche information is stored on that site, but they've blocked anyone other than Google from crawling the site so other engines can't index past the point they changed that policy.

I use ddg but find Google gives better results and Google's snippet feature still rocks.

Careful. People here get mad about that for some reason. Like you can't think Google sucks but that their search engine is still better than others. And people will argue with you that Google is way worse than anything else. I don't know what planet they are from.

I don't like AI in search engines but even duckduckgo's AI is better lol.
