I want to see the kind of nonsense that has assuaged so many people into effective insanity and apparently Google has decided that I'm not enough of an adult to view it. It's the general rush towards infantilism. The only advantage I have seen in results is Google has removed nonsense and conspiracy garbage from their results. But if you're after a general list of usable images, then DDG is better.ĭDG almost fails in the same way as goog. So if you're after something specific using image searching, Google is better. However DDG doesn't include Pinterest spam. G's image search is better - generally speaking. Image searching is a little more hit and miss though.
I've found DDG's results to be comparable to Google's and in fact in the last ~3 years of exclusively using DDG, I can count on one hand the number of times I've tried searching for something in Google after a failed search in DDG. Or if you're search for a restaurant, add in your home town too. Like if you search for a coding problem, add your computer language name to the search query. But that doesn't mean that DDG's results can't be as good as G's, it just means you need to add that context yourself. The thing with people who switch to DDG is, they do so consciously for privacy reasons but then forget that the reason G's results are so good is because they add little bits of context in through their profiling. It's not just a front end to Bing, like many assume (though I can't find DDG's article on the subject to directly cite).
For topical searches, a few recent news updates might be included too.DDG already includes Google (amongst others) in its results. For certain queries, like celebrity names or places that can be found on a map, you might see pop-out boxes alongside your main search results. The portal is now handling about 80 million searches a day.ĭuckDuckGo is very straightforward to use: Just type your query into the main search box and hit the Enter key to get started. You don't need to register an account with the service, and you won't find a history of your searches anywhere in DuckDuckGo, making it impossible for the company to monetize them. "Our privacy policy is simple: we don’t collect or share any of your personal information," says DuckDuckGo, which also develops a browser extension and mobile apps for Android and iOS. You will notice advertising alongside the search results that you get through DuckDuckGo, but these ads aren't targeted, and the advertising networks behind them don't know anything about you. As with the Brave search engine, your searches are never logged or recorded-every time you turn up at the DuckDuckGo portal, you're seen as a new user.
