Thank you for the recommendation, DuckDuckGo marketing team. Instead, consider the following:
duckduckgo?
with a name like that they have no chance of… becoming the most popular google alternative they already are 🤔
“Hey guys”, DDG is like 15 years old already, partners with Bing, and seems to give IP location-based search results in “private” mode.
DuckDuckGo censors just like Google.
Their CEO is trash.
Federated is the only way.
Edit: To clarify, they are controlled opposition who serve the same master.
The best be right now is https://searx.space like https://searx.garudalinux.org or similar.
I can’t decide whether to upvote this for the good recommendation it makes, or downvote it for the spammy YT channel “Hey Guys” and the really obvious well known nature of the whole post.
I can confirm I did not intend to put any effort at all into making it sound non-spammy and bot-like
All good. IMO, almost discussion on Lemmy is good.
https://search.brave.com/ is the one
Why the downvotes? Brave is the best Google alternative that works for me.
DuckDuckGo is just Bing, Brave’s is at least it’s own search engine, that grows with every unique search.
That is incorrect, it is a metasearch, so it uses results from over 400 search engines
Moving to Brave Search from Google is just very invasive spyware to less invasive spyware.
Kagi has become my main search engine
Still an attention based, ad funded business model, that turns it’s users into the product.
Well then use Qwant

I’m too lazy. And there’s already Kagi
DuckDuckGo on Android tracks your search clicks via some weird injection
Honestly, Searx is better, and you can add ddg as an engine and still maintain your privacy from them.
Its better than Google shit
I heard some bad stuff about it a few months ago. Not sure what was going on. But DDG is pretty good. I’m using it for like a year and I’m always satisfied with the search results. They also made a privacy-focused AI chat frontend for those interested in it. It even includes some open-source models now.
