I've been using DDG for a while but I honestly don't understand their business model if they're privacy-focused. They're basically comparable to google in search quality, which is to say quite bad. Started out on the free tier of Kagi the other day after hearing about it on mastodon. It's a subscription service. So far seems to work okay. Anybody have experience or reviews to contribute?
I'm on my second month. I still think it's too expensive but I actually really like it. Especially the filters. The small web filter is really cool.
