DAE feel like DuckDuckGo is now just as good as google for the vast majority of searches? (lemmy.ml)

Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop

My thought always was that DDG was good to set as my default, and if I'm not happy with the results then it's not a big deal to use Google once in awhile.

Just use start page instead for Google results. That’s what I do.

Wow this is way cleaner than google. Just straight text search results for the most part.
