For months I have been noticing that DDG was behaving more like a MSM delivery system than a independent engine. So I've been wanting to switch. What I really wanted to switch to was searx.info but I keep having issues accessing them.

So as of just now I moved to Ixquick which I have used in the past but wasn't thrilled by them. I dumped DDG because I refuse to give support to companies that cater to ideology over meritocracy. Especially when the ideology is toxic to everything I hold dear.
