Honestly sometimes duck duck go gives me better results
I use duck as my first choice, but unless I'm just looking up one word, it doesn't find much useful. If I look for a specific question, duck doesn't work at all and I have to go back to google. google is way worse than it used to be, but it's still better than any other I have found yet.
I very rarely go back to google but at least it's very easy to do with bangs "!g [search Query]"
I guess the times duckduckgo works better for me is when I'm looking for answers Google is able to identify, but chooses to filter out, like in psychedelic trip reports
