I’m sure DuckDuckGo is fine for 99% of searches, but I’ll tell you, I just it put it to a little test, and I have to say, Google did slightly better. Here’s the deal... I’m currently in the market for a hard-to-find discontinued furniture item (to match a set I own). I’ve been on the fence about buying it because Google produces exactly 1 result of a seller who has the item in stock for sale (and that one seller wants a price that I’m not crazy about). Well, with you guys talking about DuckDuckGo, I just decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately results are all for out-of-stock sellers and it didn’t find the one seller who has it. Consolation: Microsoft’s Bing doesn’t find it either.

You can still get 99% of the benefits by setting Duck-Duck-Go as your default and if it doesn't find anything go to google and search there.

That is what I do and is good almost all of the time.

Googling something positive on Trump or conservatives is near impossible on Google.

They always stack negative items first.

Likewise, trying to find negative things on Democrats brings up positives stories.
