“was also wondering about duckduckgo this afternoon when I was searching and it was as strange as searching the same on google.”


I use DDG, and I know that among the various search engines that it uses (according to Wikipedia) “... are a compilation of “over 400” sources, including Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Bing, Yandex, its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot) and others.”

If all or most of those sources are, themselves, biased and censored via their algorithms like Google is, then so will be the DDG results - with the only benefit being the privacy in your searches that they promise.
