That's a really good question. My impression is that Gabriel Weinberg and team are building something on the side of privacy and users. I don't know with any certainty what Mr. Weinberg would do in such a face-off, but at this moment in time, I personally feel more comfortable with DDG than Google. My feelings are simply mine and based upon what I've observed so far with DDG and Google. Google just won't close shop - DDG might close shop. I trust DDG more.
