also i wouldn't install their extension just for that, you can edit your default search engine to anu address you want in the settings

browser extensions are a huge privacy risk and i wouldn't trust ddg with my data because of their Microsoft deal, not to block their trackers (they reverted that part after the backlash) in the ddg browser and to only show msn under their news tab in regular ddg

DuckDuckGo gains traffic not because it somehow gotten better recently.

Google entered heavy enshittification stage and honestly... it's sad to watch.

    google has been in heavy enshittification for going on a decade now.

    Honestly you could make the argument that its been on the enshittification slide since they tried to expand out from just being a search engine company.

    I honestly can't find anything on google anymore. I barely use it at all, but sometimes someone will hand me their phone, so I'll give it a shot. I always end up switching to ddg before I find what I'm looking for.

    There might be a way to use google search these days but its apparently beyond my desire/skills to learn it.
