I can't say I'm liking DDG. The first page gives me the same domain links. Like when I search for "eye washing gifs", the first three links is the same website. Where I'd expect it to give me three separate websites (and combine searches).

It does that for a few searches.

But then again, I'm not even liking Google.

    have you tried searchpage or searxng? i think they use google (while searxng also use other search engines) beyond the scenes.

    I've been dogfooding Searxng for a week or so now and I'm sold on it over DDG and certainly over Google. Besides good results out of the box and being selfhosted so I have some search privacy (sorta), you can tune it to get better results for your particular situation.

    Setup was a quick docker compose and env file, and then add it to FF with a rightclick on the URL bar to set it up in my search engines.
