Judge dismisses major arguments in Google antitrust case
The government’s antitrust case against Google just got significantly smaller. In a filing on Friday, a US district court judge dismissed several of the claims that the Department of Justice and a coalition of states brought against the company, including allegations that Google Search harms competing services.

To be entirely fair, Google search has gotten so shit I've managed to get multiple friends to switch to DDG. Thanks google!
I've been using DDG for awhile now. I have zero complaints about it.
My chief complaint about DDG is excluding a term from a query rarely works. The "-" tag is not reliable.
Yeah, I looked it up the other day and apparently it only gives less results with words flagged with "-". It's stupid because a few years ago there was syntax to exclude a term completely, so it's definitely possible to do. I don't understand why they just won't.
Last time I checked the documentation (more than a year ago) the '-' flag was supposed to work, but in practice the results can be unpredictable. Google honours the flag, but DDG is a bit of a mixed bag.
I had done the same. Was on DDG for around 2 years but shifted to Brave search recently. Results are almost on par with DDG I'd say but the main highlight for me is their AI summarizer. Pretty accurate and often I don't even have to visit any website. Also like their discussions tab.
