Let's imagine we live in a world the American government is not the American government so you can trust what American companies say when they talk about protecting your privacy and so on...

All I can definitively say is that it's better than Google in most use cases. The Hide AI images function is nice, but it's not perfect. They don't shove as many junk links at the top, though you're still gonna get a lot of AI articles but that's for every search engine nowadays. I use DDG as my daily driver.

By design, DDG doesn't localize search results as far as I know. The only time I use Google is if I'm looking for a product in a store near me or if I'm really desperate otherwise.
