I recommend reading the actual paper this article is about. DDG is actually by far the worst by their measures. Google is 9% spam compared to 31% for DDG and 23% for Bing. That’s a huge difference.
I would recommend trying a SearXNG instance if you haven’t before. You can combine results from multiple sources. I use Google as my main source while also having access to the DDG-style !bangs.
My family was looking for a specific manual and couldn’t find it on Google, the only search engine they know about. It was one of the first results on DDG.
I’m using DDG for a while now and I’m happy with it overall.
