Is DuckDuckGo still considered a bad idea?
Them Bangs are god tier man. At least it's better than Google, right?
Better than cuckle but not as good as hosting your own searx instance on a VPS in Switzerland
Yubnub, my man.

Install Startpage

Best chance u got is some eastern EU country.

It was never a bad idea. DDG is perfectly fine.
>>59413501
I remember /g/ getting rather autistically paranoid about DDG tracking people or some shit about retaining logs?
>>59413501
Been using it for years I have to admit that results improved over time. I think in <current_year-=1> results were already much better those of joogle.
>>59413601
/g/ autistically paranoid? Naahhhh

use startpage
>>59413601
that's because their CEO's past is shady as fuck
as long as you can just run hundreds of thousand of dictionary word searches through google every day at ranged intervals, I don't see why it would matter
You can generate so much garbage for log collectors that even if they got legit data from you, it's going to be buried down so many garbage results that it won't really matter
>>59413121
Use it as your browser's address bar search engine. Use !sp to actually search for shit with startpage
>>59414072
That's not proof of anything
>>59413302
>install
>>59415338
The fact that the CEO of the company had another site that took pride in being "private" and then sold off all the information to another company might not be proof of anything, but it's definitely a good reason to not trust the fag.
>>59415370
That's also fake. It was some stupid classmate website where people willing gave out their info. If you do that you have no expectation to privacy. That website was not even privacy oriented like DDG. I'm so tired of seeing this fake meme on /g/
>>59413121
Shit results
Google is much more accurate

You are beyond stupid

The terms of use was clearly not privacy oriented:

If any retard signed up for this they deserved to have their information sold off to another company. None of this is related to DDG and there is absolutely no evidence that DDG has violated their privacy terms. Until someone presents actual EVIDENCE that has occurred, I will continue to use DDG.
>>59415793
You should using Google, faggot. No difference.
>>59415880
EVIDENCE, post it or shut up.
>>59415880
>I don't have any proof so you're a faggot
The post
Why not just use searx? The results aren't as good but if it's not news or something very recent, you'll find it & not be tracked.

There is no evidence that Google spy on you either :^)

You're not really bright, do you?

Start page doesn't cater to me like how Google does. Google knows my browsing and if I search big dicks on big gaping assholes it would find it for me, start page strays a couple pages in.
