Google although I am considering to switch to duckduckgo for privacy.

Looks like DuckDuckGo CEO decided to cut the legs out from under his own company..

Yep, they can DuckDuckGoFuckThemselves. I've been testing out some alternatives such as MetaGer and a couple different Searx instances over the past few days. They all kind of suck, but are still good enough for most basic searches. I occasionally had to break down and use Google anyway when I was on DDG.

That shit pissed me off. I don't even care/purposely seek out Russian propaganda. Just add something next to the BBC and RT search result, that says they're owned by the UK gov and Russian gov, same with every other gov owned news website. Don't meddle with my search results, if I wanted that, I'd just use Google.


Something like this.

It's been almost a year since I made this thread. It's sad that the majority of the voters voted Google. We can't continue to allow Google to co-exist in our lives

Duckduckgo is great. I can appreciate a search engine which seeks to return accurate and relevant results based on the user's search queries. That is how a search engine works, that's the whole point. A search engine which *doesn't* use an algorithm to sort the most accurate results at the top will never see much use. The controversy is way overblown.

Aside from a company trying to get good PR points with "look how much we care, look how good we're doing!" which is always a bit dubious, but I have better things to spend my time worrying about.
