I tried that. DDG just wasn't even remotely good enough to service my searching habits.

Instead, I've switched to Disconnect search. They proxy searches and claim to do so anonymously. So at least I'm not directly contributing to Google's profile building that way. It does add a second or two latency per search, which can be annoying.

FF switched to Yahoo, and I'm just amused at how bad it is. They even open results in new tabs by default, a lame trick used to try to accidentally keep people on your site.

It's unfortunate, but Google really does dominate in search.

I use Duckduckgo optimistically. First I use ddg then if the results aren't satisfactory I use google.

The nice thing about DuckDuckGo is that you can just put !sp in front of your search and it will send the search to StartPage.com (for google results).
