Still use google for “150 usd to cad” conversions. Use it for translation. Use it for relevant news. Use it for accurate localized searches. Use it for finding relevant sourcing of companies. Calling DuckDuckGo a replacement of google is no where near right. Bing is more relevant. And people seem to hate on Bing. The only reason people love DuckDuckGo is because of the perceived privacy. But the NSA blows that right away.

- askaboutit 8y agoThe servers used to return your results most likely made with intel hardware (known backdoors or open holes). Sophisticated, even mind blowing levels of encryption breaking and penetration. If you think your data is encrypted online, or that it can’t be traced at every step. You’re wrong. There is no privacy on the internet. The best privacy we all have is the power button. Then you walk outside and facial recognition takes over. Privacy is dead.
- jstanley 8y agoI don't get this kind of reasoning. Google isn't the NSA. Even if the NSA see everything, they still see it if you use Google instead of DuckDuckGo. But Google don't see anything you do with DuckDuckGo. There are only upsides to using DuckDuckGo.
