I use it everywhere but the search results are… variable. However it’s plenty good enough for most situations.
I still switch back to Google if I’m not finding what I want (using DDG’s !g keyword, which is pretty helpful - just add that anywhere in a search and it’ll send you to Google), but at least I’m only doing that when I’m aware of it.
I haven’t had this issue for a long time now, I’ve maybe done a Google search once in the last year and the results from it weren’t any better than those from DDG, plus the amount of excess shit on a Google SERP makes them utterly useless you are looking for the exact thing they’ve built a page for.

!s
for startpage! It’s essentially a Google proxy with more privacy.TIL, thanks!
You can also use duckduckstart.com, which searches Startpage by default, but searches DuckDuckGo if you use a bang (!).
