If you have a Pixel 3 phone, you should be aware that you can opt out of the built-in binding arbitration agreement. Boing Boing has a screen shot of the new Pixel phone's binding arbitration opt-out form. Pixel phone owners, insofar as they actually own the phone, are given a chance to avoid Google's attempt to get them to sign away your right to sue even if the company hurts, cheats, or kills them.

Sorry, no. I really want DDG to get there, but it still fails hard on a lot of the searches I do now. For example, if I search on SN for my name and some topic (for example, "khallow climate site:soylentnews.org"), I get a pretty useless search [duckduckgo.com] with DDG (much better [google.com] with Google - though note that I had to edit out two identifying strings from the URL of the Google search result when I copy/pasted it in the link). It dumps the stories that happen to have the topic word because my name showed up in the journals list. Google actually searches for my name near the topic word and delivers in this situation much more relevant results.
I set my browser to default to DuckDuckGo, but too often I have to repeat on Google in order to get a search to work.

I agree that Google is generally better than ddg, but Google is not anywhere near as good as they used to be. Lately I've been using searx after seeing it recommended here a while ago. It's a meta-search engine, can be locally hosted, works great. There are a few public servers you can use, but they're pretty slow so of you like it I'd recommend running a local instance (not difficult at all, just follow the simple instructions on their website).
