duckduckgo.com only had 2 ads that were clearly identified when I just tried it. no idea how manipulated the rest of it is.
Duck Duck Go search results are a little lacking, though, like itβs completely missing some possibilities. Looking up tech stuff for a Linux issue Iβm having, Duck will miss a site that Google finds - and even if I enter the exact text of the site, itβs completely absent from Duck.
I really want to like DuckDuckGo, but the results are never right. I always end up going back to Google. But I'm a professional programmer, so it might be different for me.
i gotta use duck duck go on my work laptop. no sugarcoat its dogshit google is still better even tho google is getting worse
