I've been using it for years and have never looked back.
You should. It uses Bing for its searches. So you are censored to oblivion.
What's being censored? You have control over safesearch, and searching phrases verbatim returns all sites where that phrase exists.
Safesearch (NSFW) ≠ Censorship (Political, Government Posts, etc.)
Gonna need to see a legit source on that that doesn’t read like right-wing nutjobbery or Russian botnik drivel.
I might be mistaken, but IIRC Bing is only one of the data sources DDG uses.
