Thank you for the recommendation, DuckDuckGo marketing team. Instead, consider the following:

https://searx.space/

duckduckgo?

with a name like that they have no chance of… becoming the most popular google alternative they already are 🤔

"Hey guys", DDG is like 15 years old already, partners with Bing, and seems to give IP location-based search results in "private" mode.

https://search.brave.com/ is the one

[–] en1gma@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Why the downvotes? Brave is the best Google alternative that works for me.

DuckDuckGo is just Bing, Brave's is at least it's own search engine, that grows with every unique search.

That is incorrect, it is a metasearch, so it uses results from over 400 search engines

I can't decide whether to upvote this for the good recommendation it makes, or downvote it for the spammy YT channel "Hey Guys" and the really obvious well known nature of the whole post.

I can confirm I did not intend to put any effort at all into making it sound non-spammy and bot-like

DuckDuckGo censors just like Google.

Their CEO is trash.

Federated is the only way.

Edit: To clarify, they are controlled opposition who serve the same master.

The best be right now is https://searx.space like https://searx.garudalinux.org or similar.

Kagi has become my main search engine

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly, Searx is better, and you can add ddg as an engine and still maintain your privacy from them.

Still an attention based, ad funded business model, that turns it's users into the product.

[–] No_Support_8363@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Well then use Qwant

[–] No_Support_8363@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago
