Cool.
Get a job.
Not touching Yandex stuff. Yandex is the Kremlin’s Facebook.
I could say this is a Lowsy vanity about the Brouser, but I’ll refrain.
I use duckduckgo search engine with Brave browser.
As a software evaluator, you should know the Apple overlords make importing transferring or sharing of anything is dam near impossible on their software between other apps. Hell I have 2 Apple accounts with purchases from each account. Can I mearge them? Hell no! Apple sucks! I use DDT on my ipad. Works find for what I need. Privacy.
Duck Duck go messes with URLs Also. Like Google they limit the ability to reach certain sites. I know from experience. It has happened enough times that I ended up using Firefox or others.
How does one know whether DDG is just Google with a different name and some kind of wrapper that makes the data tracking less obvious. Just Google 2.0, now with StealthTrack.
I use this search engine myself and am quite happy with it.
The first test I performed was a search for the following and had drastic differences between the two (google and duckduckgo)
Search criterea (United States Investigative Services+Blake Percival)
Sure, all is well and good until it doesn’t give you current news and tends to flip over to google.
Cool you too. What’s your job?
We just switched to Brave from Firefox today.
Once they started with their president spreading misinformation for four years crap, we were done with them.
I’ve been using DDG for at least a year. I find it meets nearly all my needs just as good as Google, save one. When I need images for a computer graphics project, Google has a much better selection. That’s it. Otherwise, I use DDG. My cell phone is very Google based and I can’t seem to put DDG on it. I am sort of forced to use Chrome on it, if I want the internet. I only use the internet on my phone when out shopping and I want to check prices at other stores, or find if a certain store is in the area I happen to be at. So at least it’s minimal.
Boss.
I’ve found DDG adequate, but there are times it does not give me the results that google does.
Honestly, I think google is a better search engine as far as function and results, but I have issues with them that pushes me to endure DDG most of the time.
Same, neither are great but good enough. Always want to support the alternatives. Netflix and YouTube have no real competition (Netflix is trash though, there are better solutions but nothing really available to the broader public.)
I have used it for years. No problems. Sometimes, I will use google to get a map. That is about it. Don’t feed the beast. Counting down until freepers tell you that DDG sux...
Gees, man...you missed its most important feature: Unlike Google, it doesn’t track you or sell your information.
