    DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

    Not as much as Google though, so I’ve been feeling like it’s been getting better and better, but it’s just a comparative feeling.

      To me it’s worrying because it is where Google was when I jumped ship for DDG.

      I am getting tailored results that I do not want. Everything I search even with location off gives me local to very local responses.

      If I open a link and then go back to the results page all the results have changed order.

        Makes sense. I can’t blame you for taking that position. I think we need a paid search engine: if you’re not paying you’re the product, after all.
