So is this any good? Been thinking about cutting myself off from

it's better than google. not even trolling, been using it for years now and every 2-3 months when i get shit results looking for something obscure or regional, i try google just for comparison. i'm yet to get better results from google.

Considering you can prefix your searches with !g to get Google results via DDG, there's really no reason not to try.

Also, it doesn't sell your your info to ads desu

>>61483131
most obvious samefag ever
DDG is shit, there's no actual alternative to Google because having huge botnet is good for making a search engine

also, where do you live? i used to get furious at google giving me search results for poland instead for searching globally. DDG made it a thing off the past.

>>61483147
>DDG is shit,
it not but its not jewgle either

DDG is my default
I have it on my phone too
I rarely need google, but it's a !g away if I do

>>61483063
why dont you just try it you dumb ass

>doesn't even have reverse image search

>>61483063
I've been using it for the past 2 years, and have yet to go back to Google.

>>61483063
no, use searx run by yourself or someone you trust
ddg isn't a friend to privacy anymore

>>61483147
but I'm not OP or any of the other anons desu

>>61483249
google has begun exluding copyrighted material from it's google image search, so it's become useless anyway

You can still use google without the bullshit. Startpage acts as a proxy and queries google for you so you get the same results without the botnet.

>>61483063
Set it as default rn

Looks like absolute ass.

>>61483063
Startpage > DDG for privacy. And still a good search engine in its own right.

>>61484846
I use startpage and I'm a fan of it.

>>61484846
>>61484871
Same here, switched to startpage and haven't looked back.

>>61484295
There are different themes you can choose if you don't like the aesthetic.

>>61483063
It's ok, Google still gives better results, but I keep it because I find bangs to be a short hand way to get all search engines.

>>61483131
Don't even try again fucking shill
Too bad I don't have the screencap which explain in detail how and why Cuckcuckgo is a botnet that no one should use
Use startpage, Qwant, Searx or even google but by all means stay fucking away from Duckduckgo

>>61483063
It's not better than google but more ethical than google, and also google used to be better.

Just saying.

>>61484295
>like most of the Internet
that doesn't seem to stop you from posting on a swiss patisserie forum

Ixquick or startpage, preferably startpage.

>>61485617
how is startpage or any of the dogpile-esque search engines any less botnet if it uses google results? literally everything is a botnet; at least duckduckgo has a layout that doesnt make my eyes bleed and it allows me to use a proxy to search, unlike google which just blocks me now. i couldnt care less about ddg using aggregate anonymous data from my search queries

>>61486100
>literally trusting a jew who's previous job was to sell user data
You're a quack.

>>61486149

>>61485632
This is disinfo. DDG is perfectly fine. What everyone here keeps referencing about the "selling user data" is purely a meme designed to discourage people from using DDG. What happened is the guy who made DDG had, a long time ago, made one of those class mate finder sites, so this was a place where people willingly provided their personal details, and then at a later date the site was sold to another business. That's all that happened. And any retard who gave data to a classmate website was a fucking retard to begin with that probably didn't give two shits about privacy. This jew/user data selling meme needs to die once and for all. Fuck all of you disinfo spreaders and take your antisemitism back to /pol/

DDG what you're looking for anon.
You'rebetter off just running yacy.

Mods stop b@ ing me for weird shit that I didn't please.

>>61488322
Shilling in full force

>>61483063
I am still amazed by the number of people who don't know about bangs. Add a ! to your search, and it automatically takes you to the first link. Add a !g to your search, and it takes you to an encrypted google search of the terms. Add !cpp, and it searches the C++ reference. Add !am, and it searches Amazon. Etc.
DDG is great. If you don't like its results, just add a bang and you'll get another engine's results without the tracking.

>>61483063
>So is this any good? Been thinking about cutting myself off from Google for good.
Use startpage, searx.me or yandex. dont' use DDG. it's run by a spammer joo.

Thanks.
The amount of paranoia here lately is amazing. Is it unusual to vouch for things you like?

I use one of the searX iterations

https://www.opengo.nl

really good results

Ixquick or startpage allow you to search some other engines by proxy and also choose US, European or Asian servers, so it is more powerful than it looks. Protected by strict EU privacy laws so no death by ads.

>>61483063
If you fear for your privacy, you can try qwant

The script column heder is RED,but the column is GREEN.

Therefore
You need javascript ON(GREEN) to acces qwant.com

This. I bet most of the retards in this thread don't even have a librebooted Thinkpad and are getting raped every single day by the backdoors in their Intel/AMD CPU and BIOS, their closed source router, their smartphones, their ISP, and many of the sites they visit. Unless you have full control over your computer and encrypted your internet traffic, you have absolutely no right to whine about DDG. Your privacy has been compromised 1000x more than DDG could ever potentially do to you from a simple search.

4plebs was an archive, stop using names randomly

i used this for everything now, bangs are the best part obviously, after you memorise some of the non-intuitive ones, especially good if you have a slower system/device, plus theres a non-javascript version

>>61484242
but the google results are a problem in themselves
ads, bias, etc

>>61497707
one problem i can think of rn
in case ddg workers started this thread
the sub categories that appear dynamically can't be triggered manually very easy, also it's not obvious how many there are

Chromium you dumb fucks. Chrome just takes the open source browser Chromium and adds a bunch of bullshit to it. It's essentially the same thing minus the proprietary botnet. Get the fuck off of /g/ retards.

you know chromium still sends info to google right?

So? I deem all of these things helpful and ungoogled chromium exists if I didn't.

If you like Google algorithms better, you can always just precede your duckduckgo search with !Google

>dropping one botnet for another botnet.

Duckduckgo is alright. Its clear a lot of technical people use it because especially regarding technical questions its very good. The only thing that isn't as great as elsewhere is the image search - I sometimes use Startpage or even Yandex in the worst case for that.

I tend to find better results than google on DDG.

>>61492735
The bangs really exceeded my expectations, did not think they would work as well as they do.

My most commonly used ones are !g, !imdb, !arch, !aur and !wiki.
