I also use DDG by default. I only rarely go to google and more than half the time when I do, Google's results are no better. I find that usually adjusting my DDG query is more effective than trying Google.
I have a weird search FOMO thing where after I DDG something, I will often throw the !g into it to see the Google results for the same term, to make sure I got the "best" or most comprehensive result. And usually the DDG result was fine in comparison. But I'm finding it hard to trust it and stop the habit.
