AMP annoys my too, but it hadn't occurred to me to switch to DuckDuckGo. Good idea, just made the change.

- macNchz 10y agoIt's definitely not perfect but I've found DuckDuckGo to work reasonably well for the kind of quick searches I tend to do from my phone. Plus if it's giving you bad results you can tack on !g to the query and it'll give you the google results instead.
- tdkl 10y agoIt sure would be awesome if Chrome on Android had it available as an option. But, it's Google.

- tdkl 10y agoThanks, I tried some Chromium based browsers on the Play Store, but they all have unreliable or even non working Chrome Sync. I'd go full FF, if scrolling on Android wasn't so jerky compared to Chrome.
- flukus 10y agoI started using it because it get's better results. Google says "oh you searched for something vaguely related two weeks ago? let me show you those results instead of what you're searching for now".
