Or.. DDG is just a tool in a bigger war in the background. It feels like it can exist only because its benefactors allow it to exist.

  It's independently profitable, though.

    Because it's basically a reskin of Bing search. They say they index a handful of "sources" which are just individual websites, and also redundant because Bing also indexes them.

      With Bing ads even (well actually Bing via Yahoo :))

      a reskin with better instant answers and !bangs. Both of those things give me an enormous value add, I could never bring myself to use DDG or Bing over Google if it was just about search results.
