I live in a country which uses a language I don’t speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

DuckDuckGo 95% of the time, Google if I’m having trouble finding something.

I switched to DuckDuckGo a while ago and haven’t regretted it at all. I honestly barely notice the difference.

I made the jump a ways back, and it’s only on rare occasions that I find I need to open Brave or Chrome (whichever is installed on my machine at the time) for website compatibility.

DuckDuckGo 99% of the time, Google Startpage if I’m having trouble finding something.

*Note: Startpage uses Google as their source of search result.

DuckDuckGo is using bing as source for their search results the same way startpage.com is using Google as source.

I’ve been trying to switch to duckduckgo but I really struggle with the results. I appreciate the privacy angle but I just can’t seem to find what I want about 80% of the time. It’s like it just ignores parts of my query…
