I haven’t googled in a very long time. I use both Bing and DuckDuckGo. I think I’m using DDG on my iPhone, as well. It works well.
I got tired of Duck Duck go and right now looking for something just as secure. There are other alternatives out there just have to test them out.
The problem I have with DD go is if my search is in anyway related to any of their sponsors the first two pages are all links to just their own sponsors. I have to dig too far to get the “neutral” source options of the search criteria.
Sometimes it even happens if you put in a straight up domain URL. You get a whole bunch of their sponsor ad stuff first before you get the direct website of the direct URL later in the list. That’s pretty bad. lol
