DDG results are great, but it still pains me that it's (relatively) slow compared to Google + Chrome, which is as close to instantaneous as far as I perceive.

- IntronExon 9y agoOn Firefox and Safari they seem the same to me, and either way I’d rather wait a few extra ms to get results that aren’t a bunch of SEO spam and ads.
- MaxBarraclough 9y ago> DDG results are great No, it's still far inferior to Google search. Try "D without garbage collection" in both, and get back to me.
- IntronExon 9y agoFirst result in DDG is from stack overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13574552/d-programming-without-the-garbage-collector#13575667 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13574552/d-programming-w... Google: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13574552/d-programming-without-the-garbage-collector https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13574552/d-programming-w... Same exact thing, so what is your point exactly?
- MaxBarraclough 9y agoCherry-picking, then. Real cute. Of the top 10 Google results, 9 specifically relate to the D programming language. Of the top 10 DuckDuckGo results, the number is 3.
- IntronExon 9y agoUsing the top result of a search engine with a string you provided is cherry picking? Yeah... good to see you’re not reaching or anything.
- MaxBarraclough 9y agoYou're suggesting that nothing matters but the top result? Don't be silly.
- IntronExon 9y agoI’m suggesting that if the top result works it doesn’t matter. More, I’m suggesting that the next time you want to suggest a challenge you should run it yourself, first.
- Terretta 9y agoYou can also try https://www.startpage.com/ https://www.startpage.com/ (or !s in DDG) Googley, but without the personal dossier.
- MaxBarraclough 9y agoI'm seeing different ordering of results from Google. I used a fresh Private Browsing session, so no cookies. Second result from Google: https://dlang.org/blog/2017/06/16/life-in-the-fast-lane/ https://dlang.org/blog/2017/06/16/life-in-the-fast-lane/ (on StartPage this is the third result) Second result from StartPage: https://dlang.org/spec/garbage.html https://dlang.org/spec/garbage.html (on Google this is the third result)
- Terretta 9y agoDon’t know what to tell you except that one of them is known to filter and personalize results, definitely leverages your IP address and other identifiers, and the other claims not to.
