Search?

DuckDuckGo is great for most purposes.

The best product Google has is Maps. That's about it.



DuckDuckGo is literally Bing but with location-based ads added to the bottom of your search results.


When did that change? I haven’t tested it in a while, but in the past DuckDuckGo indexed some stuff that wasn’t on Bing.

I’ve been using Google and Duck on different kinds of searches these days, because neither is universally better but I might try Bing again.

Edit: NM, Bings UI is still annoying. It slides stuff in from the side when you scroll down.

It didn’t. The person you’re replying to is either exaggerating or uninformed.

Maybe give Ecosia a try. The interface is decent and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the results.


You're right, it didn't change. It was always just a thin wrapper around Bing.

Are we just going to pretend that Chrome and Android don't exist just like that, or do I have a different definition of "has"?
