When using DDG a couple of years back, I noticed that after a while, throwing in a !g became my default so I figured I might as well switch back to Google. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to love DDG but for my searches, I would simply have to revert to Google too often.
I think by using DDG you will feed data to DDG thus improving DDG. A huge advantage that Google has over DDG is huge enormous userbase that constantly feed data to Google thus making it better compared to other search engine. CMIIW.
