I have been using DDG as my primary search in Firefox for around 5 years. I search a lot of dev queries every day, and generally only have to fall back to google (generally using the !g bang) about twice in a week of work.
You get better results in DDG if you re-learn how to do a search query. Google lets you ask very question-like queries but in DDG I find you have to go more oldschool and be very specific about words and "exact phrases".
The only Google service that is really hard to live without is maps. The data of business locations and hours is too good, so I still use !maps quite a lot. YouTube and Translate are not too hard to boycott.
