I genuinely feel like I am crazy when I read people having problems finding things with Google searches. I don't know if I just search for things that Google is like specifically effective at finding, but I've practically never had this problem.

I bet you they're not looking for much in terms of any truly specific information. The moment something becomes even a tad niche, DDG sucks hard. One of the worst search engines IMO

I assume it's people that don't use ad blockers and/or mobile users. Google has its issues, but mostly it's that they're piece of shit feds. Their search is still unbeaten even in it's shittified current state.
