So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.

I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).

I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

It's disingenuous to say there's no point in striving for privacy if you're not going to go completely off grid. There are always better and worse options.
