The thing that annoys me about DuckDuckGo is that the page doesn't load all at once. The first few items on the page load quickly, but then others start popping up. Which might be fine, except that they start crowding the stuff already there, sometimes changing its position. I have to wait a few seconds before I know I can start reading.
I haven't noticed anything that I could find better with DuckDuckGo than Google, but the results are usually pretty good. For finding error messages and quotes it seems slightly worse (incidentally, does anybody know of a good search engine for finding quotes when you don't know the exact wording?).
Zero click info is a great idea. Half the time when I search for something, I just want the Wikipedia page, and half of those times, I just want a few sentences or definition.
I came here to post the exact same complaint. I used to have DDG as my default search on all browsers, but eventually I got annoyed by the slow speed of loading and switched back to Google.
Once the guy fixes this issue, I'll be the first one to go back to DDG, because I liked being able to search privately and anonymously.
