That's fine, of course, but I'm just pointing out that your logic is a bit circular: you dismiss my anecdote in support of Google's superiority with the assumption that there exist counter-anecdotes as well, but your only basis for this assumption seems to be the assumption that Google isn't objectively superior ;) Of course, anecdotes are not data. And just to be clear, I really like DDG, certainly for its attitude and track record of taking privacy seriously, as well as for doing remarkably well as a competitor to Google with what I assume is a tiny fraction of its resources.
