Half of those 30 million are from the Taylor Hanson troll on DL.

Been using it for years and pretty happy with it.
I’m sure there’s a better option again, though, there always is. My sister loves Ecosia.

I use Bing, but I'm ecstatic to hear this. Google needs to be neutralized, and we also need to go back to the days when we had multiple sites competing in each market, not just the one.

I use and like it. Fuck google.

I like it and like the cute duck logo. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it’s run off a Russian search engine, Yandex.

Just checked out Ecosia. I like it. Thanks R8

I thought DuckDuckGo is strictly a Tor Browser search engine looking for .onion pages in the Dark Web?

I started using DuckDuckGo two years ago as a Google replacement until I realized there's a logo of Yandex at the bottom of DDG home page. Yes, DDG uses a Russian search engine. I immediately returned to Google and haven't visited DDG since. You just never know how deep the connection between DDG and Yandex goes.

Sorry, I mixed DuckDuckGo with DuckDuckGoOnion for Tor Browser.

What is so bad about Google? Much of my information is integrated via Google and it makes my life easier. So Google has information about me. So what? Perhaps if I had something to hide I'd be concerned. Good to have competition, but I'll stay with Google.

Bing it is then.

R24, I was beginning to feel skeptical, too, but it appears that DDG is in a partnership with Yandex.

Gogoduck and all the VPN features in Opera Browser and the like are operated by Russians. Nothing good can come out of it.
I hate to say this, but Bing and Google are still your safest bets when searching on your computer.

Woe! Thanks for that info about Opera. I just started using that for the first time recently and had no idea. Thanks for the heads up, and I agree about the Russians. They have zero credibility in everything they say and do.

Are Yandex's partnerships with Facebook, Twitter, CERN, and Firefox any more worrisome than their affiliation with DuckDuckGo?

Despite that Google's Chinese search engine links phone numbers with web searches, I'm sticking with DuckDuck.

I love the antivirus software Kaspersky and it worked great on my computer, but because of the Russian connection I chose Bitdefender instead this time around. Sorry, but DuckDuckGo using Russian based software makes me paranoid as hell and I don't even have anything to hide (well, except my obsession with teen shows like Riverdale and Presenting Hole threads on Datalounge).

I use Startpage.com run by the same company that offered ixquick, another privacy-respecting search engine.
The underlying startpage search is google but none of your personal information is passed to them.
I never got good results using Duckduckgo.

Google has many, many more results for "Gap Playlists" than the Russian Duck search engine.
Nyet!

Duck, Startpage have limited results compared to Google and Bing. Bing is better for nudies and porn searches.
