There was a recent post about them entertaining making DuckDuckGo the default. I think it's just a negotiation point.

I have switched to DDG and like it.

It was ok to me, but still tended to find the Google results better (especially in verbatim mode) and kept going back to it.

I'm using Kagi right now for a bunch of reasons and it's awesome, but 99.99% of people aren't going to pay money for a search engine. Especially at these prices. But it's way less money than Google, and Bing make off mining our data, or DDG does selling ads and doing SOME mining
