This fully coincides with my experience. Every once in a while, I hear about how much DDG has improved and how its results are now better than Google. I switch to DDG for a few days, get fed up with the (low) quality of the results, eventually start adding !g to all my queries because I _anticipate_ the results to be terrible, and at some point, I switch back to Google. Every single time I try DDG, this happens. Without exception.

I know not everyone shares my viewpoint but I wish people on reddit and HN would stop hyping up DDG. It will likely never be real competitor to Google. I don't mean to blame them in any way. Even Microsoft, with all their might, still fails to match Google's capabilities.
