Results suck, it can't find anything. I really don't think it's related to lack of browsing history.

Not the same person, but DDG results just seem a little bit shittier than Google's results. It's nothing I can specifically put my finger on, outside of "I'm having more issues finding an answer for my query".

I also hate the basic layout of the page, but that's not a DDG problem as such, just a personal opinion.

Just use ddg syntax operators and stuff will improve

While that is true, you shouldn't need to do that. The site should just work properly without diving into the advanced stuff. It's also WAY more annoying to use on mobile.
