I use ddg primarily, but I regularly need to use g! to reroute myself to Google when searching for anything that I don’t already have domain-specific knowledge for.
Like if I want to just check syntax for a new programming language, ddg can handle the search just fine, but if I am doing initial research for a problem I don’t understand well, I need Google to get consistently relevant results.
But the search is not as good. Or good might be subjective in this case. But I tried using DDG mutliple times, but every time I end up just doing the same search on google becouse it is much better at giving me the result I want.
