...the fact that IXQuick/Startpage fucked with their interface, making it unusable without javascript, and by the time they fixed it, no doubt many others like myself had migrated to DDG, never to return.

The "never to return" part will be true for me when the quality of results comes anywhere near that of google. DDG is nice and yields good stuff sometimes (and their image search is way better), but you just can't find some stuff.

Yeah the search quality is poor and far too censored by default. Startpage is much, much better (because it uses Google of course).

Agreed that the new Startpage interface is godforsaken and there is STILL no replacement mobile interface, which is insane.

This redesign death spiral seems to be the way with every last web site, even useful and technically sound and aware ones like Lifehacker or, well, Slashdot. :)

Speaking of which, I don't visit there much any more but the overall quality seems to have gotten MUCH worse. Clearly the hordes haven't come here. Did all the decent people (present company excluded) just stop posting on the Internet?
