The vast majority of times I go back to Google to do a search I find it also returns useless results. I'm not convinced it's any better than duckduckgo. I think it used to be, but not anymore.

I had the same experience. I used switch between DDG and Google when DDG gave results I didn't want. During the pandemic, I remember DDG giving lots of false positives and odd, non-standard web page hits. Like, if I was searching for current COVID advice, it would give me hits from the health department in Bumfuck, Nebraska instead of, say, CDC (and I don't live in Bumfuck, Nebraska). It has really improved since then and now I can use DDG pretty much exclusively. Not having to scroll past a page of Google ads to find my search results is quite glorious.
