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 think we're close. For some things, it's still not the best but instead of going to <insert another search engine here>, I try to modify my query to scope to what I'm looking for.

In a crude example, if I'm looking for the "LoadCrashDump" method,, which is specific to ClrMD[0], I can simply construct my query as "ClrMD: LoadCrashDump".

Bing pretty much returns the same as the above

Not too surprising, since Bing is one of the engines DDG uses under the hood.
