No matter how the quality of Google’s results seems to have declined, I find its results are often more relevant, closer to the source, and more complete than those from DuckDuckGo.

Quick thoughts:

• Google’s results have declined, and is just about unusable without an ad blocker.
• I have always found DuckDuckGo pretty lackluster. If you’re looking for an alternative, I’d suggest giving Brave Search or Kagi a try.

Hopefully one of the latter will be available for switching my own Safari default on iOS someday.
