    I was trying to find out the background of Mary being portrayed with ultramarine robes in Catholic art (because it was mentioned in Sacré Bleu by Christopher Moore), and DDG’s links were largely useless.

    I tried Google, which was better. Kagi gave me much higher-quality results. It’s probably time to bite the bullet and pay for a subscription.

      Hm man I just tried “Mary ultramarine robes” in both DDG and Google and I found DDG’s mildly better. One web result was shared on the first page of both, but Google’s first page was half pictures, ads, and reddit links.
