Ya I'm using it and I just decided to try the paid version to try it for a while longer. I've only been using it as my default search engine for a few days but I do like it so far. I think their results page layout is refreshingly clean and focused and not distracting, and I like that it doesn't try to come up with its own answers for questions unless I tell it to.
I'm still going to fall back on DDG for some things.
I prefer Duckduckgo's image results view (over literally every other image search I've tried) because it's simple and does what I want (show me images, which I can right click and copy as well as a direct link to both the source and the file).
Kagi's image results view is second best imho - it has all of the basic options I want just like DDG (download file, go to the source), but its UI is a bit fancier with animations and buttons kinda like Bing and I don't enjoy that.
I also like some of DDG's inline tools - for example I use DDG's html beautifier because it's fast and easy. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=html+beautifier&atb=v324-1&ia=answer
Kagi does have a built in !qr bang or whatever they call them to make a qr code quickly tho which was the other DDG tool I used most.
But yeah TLDR: I do like it, gonna try it some more, we'll see.
wonderful thanks! i haven't really tried to use different search engines since tineye did stuff google images didn't, i just curse a lot more at the results nowadays. maybe worth looking around at this point
