I committed to using ddg for a couple years, but after having to use bangs for everything but the most trivial searches, I had to be honest with myself and just go back to Google. Google’s definitely a lot worse than it used to be, but in my experience it’s sadly still the best of the mainstream search engines.
Never heard of searx though, I’ll have to give it a try
You can always use !g ‘bang’ on the searchbar which will open results from google
You can also try searx, or searxng
