It's much noticeably worse at locality. Trying to find the happy hours times for a bar around the corner? Good luck on DuckDuckGo.

  ...well, of course it's worse at locality. It doesn't track your location. It fundamentally can't do locality without not being DuckDuckGo.

    Well, then it is fundamentally less useful then?

    in theory I could include my location in a search query to get relevant results without having it stored indefinitely, correlated with past locations and other data, and packaged up and sent off to other interested parties. maybe if I could guarantee that one positional sample was completely independent of anything that would allow it to be correlated? seems tough.

    They started offering local results on their searches, I opted out so I don’t know how well it might work. [edit] provided link https://duck.co/help/privacy/anonymous-localized-results https://duck.co/help/privacy/anonymous-localized-results
