I use DuckDuckGo to avoid Google. The ONLY 2 things I use Google for is (1) they have a better selection of images when I am using Photoshop to make cute birthday cards for friends and (2) maps. I much prefer Google maps and the things I can do with them. With a right click, I can measure distances with with my mouse between 2 points, I can “walk” down unfamiliar streets so that when I drive there, I’ll recognize landmarks, and stuff like that. I haven’t found other map software which lets me do that. Otherwise, Google can drop dead with their little manipulation games.
I gave up on the Duck a long time ago. It never gave me up to date info and not what I wanted. All other search engines were up to date, not 3 weeks old or non-existent.
I deleted Mozilla after their standing on Trump.
Bing was flat out annoying with all their junk you had to go through.
Just checked on Yahoo and they also have junk on the screen. No, I don’t want to search for Moroccan oil hair products or big and tall men’s clothing.
Google is now putting annoying mind meld messages at the bottom of the screen.
