DDG, even though apparently a Bing front end, gives legit better results than google

It's honestly good. It misses that "Algorithm profile" that Google has where it starts to "understand" what you mean but it's still pretty good.

(Example. If I type in "genocide" in Google, it knows I often look for Undertale related things and pushes "Undertale genocide route" related content. For DDG I need to be clearer about what I mean)

It took a bit getting used to but I prefer it this way now.
