I find it rather odd that Googling "uBlock Origin" from Firefox does not return links to addons.mozilla.org - at all. The top result is of course the Chrome addon. The third result is the website for "uBlock" which is the unmaintained fork. Three pages in and you're getting dubious-looking repackaging sites, but no official addon.

How on Earth does "Comorbidities Associated with Plaque Psoriasis | Dermatology Times" on page 10 have a higher PageRank and relevance for the search query "uBlock Origin" than https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin... ?

That's sort of weird. Searching DDG for "ublock origin" gives me:

1. Chrome web store

2. ublock.org

3. Microsoft store

4. Wikipedia

5. Mozilla addon, and finally

6. Gorhill's github for ublock origin.

Can we finally say that DDG is better for some searches than Google?

I had to go to the last page and click "repeat the search with the omitted results included" to make it show up at all. After doing that it was the third result.
