DDG sucks in many ways. Besides the engine performing quite poorly, it also relies on third parties and so will return filtered results they may not even control. They also never supported IPv6 and are hosted at Microsoft or Amazon.

IMO, there is no credible search engine today.

I agree with most of what you are saying but this is silly. I get "Microsoft and Amazon bad" but basically saying "host your own infrastructure worldwide and index your own corpus or you are a bad actor is rather inane.

They may not host their own infrastructure, even though I think something like DDG should. But they can choose a better network, better technically and ethically.
