Last time I tried both, I liked Blekko a lot more than DDG. So unless the "don't let ads track me" becomes a huge issue - like 100x bigger than it is now - I doubt people will be switching from Google to DDG.

I recently almost completely stopped using youtube. Then I downloaded adblock video plugin - was using firefox at that time.

Ads can be a major pain, and any business that requires them is probably going to fail, intolerance to ads is building up as ads are more and more agressive.

Switching to DDG because of ads wouldn't make much sense, they'll get their own ads when they have to pay for servers, too.
