Duckgogo

[Jog On]

Anyone else using duckgogo instead of Google? Results are quite accurate so far. All we need now is some privacy focused politically neutral social media platforms now.

Well if you type in 'is suityou01 a tw*t' the top 4 results are CUK threads and proves he is so looks pretty accurate to me.

If you think you can avoid the reach of google by just using a different search engine then you are wasting your time. Your footprint is bigger than you think

AFAIK DuckDuckGo is a meta search that uses Bing/Yahoo API...

I use DuckDuckGo as my main search engine, what better product endorsement is there?

It uses it's own crawler and search engine. The ads are from Yahoo and Bing search alliance, this is how it makes money.

I used the duck gogo browser on my mobile, but wasn't impressed

Wrong

“DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources,[46] including Yahoo! Search BOSS; Wikipedia; Wolfram Alpha; Bing; its own Web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); and others.[3][46][47] It also uses data from crowdsourced sites, including Wikipedia, to populate "Zero-click Info" boxes – grey boxes above the results that display topic summaries and related topics.[11]”

If you have reasonably sized website then you can asily check user agents of bots that crawl it and compare how much or how little they crawl compared to the big boys

Searching them is about the same as searching on Bing or Yahoo (powered by Bing)

It's still better that your search engine. Where is your search engine by the way?

I use DuckDuckGo but via safari or edge, their app isn’t great.
