> I don't want my ISP to inject JavaScript to random pages or analyze my traffic. That should be downright illegal. They should be like water supply company: provide me damn clean water and get out of my way.

I don't want my search engine to do that either. They should provide me damn accurate results and get out of my way.

Unfortunately, whereas I have a choice of several good ISPs here (UK), I have a choice of precisely one good search engine - Google - and it analyses my traffic to high heaven. (And I've tried DuckDuckGo, on several occasions for several weeks at a time, and I'm afraid it still sucks.)

I find DDG useful for probably ~75% of searches, so I keep it as my default, and switch over to Google if needed.

What aspect of DDG "sucks" for you?

I have been using DDG for several years now, and it works just fine. You of course are free to like Google better - to each for their tastes, but please do not claim there's no choice. There is choice, and you just happen to like Google better - fine, so live with Google then :)
