I've noticed DDG giving poor results lately and definitely putting me in a bubble. No matter what it gives hyper local results.

Same, I tried it for a while a few months ago but it never gave me as good results as Google. I'm very aware of the enshittification and will switch away as soon as I notice it not showing me what I want, though.

For the record I find it miles better than google, I just think they are getting to be more like Google in their results being tailored.

When I search something I want to learn about I'll often get local examples whereas I used to get the wiki or some general discussions.

When I google it I get ads and pictures of myself in the shower.
