Try to use https://yandex.com/ (Russia) or https://beta.cliqz.com/ (Germany), results are much better than DDG.

Using Yandex for privacy reasons is quite possibly best joke I've ever heard.
Recommending Cliqz that is owned by Hubert Burda, a global media conglomerate which couldn’t care less about your privacy, and where every player is sorely focused on getting a bite of Google’s cake, is also hypocrisy.
I mostly agree, although I think that isn't totally clear yet. I only mentioned Yandex because they're the most egregious example. They are significantly worse than Google in user privacy and general evilness, which I don't think you can clearly say about Cliqz, if only because they haven't mattered enough to have the chance to abuse real users.
