Oh man, I so badly want to use DDG. I was actually using DDG for the past several months and just switched back to Google today. As a developer, I'm constantly searching for things and I just couldn't justify the additional 5-10 seconds it would take me to re-do a search. Say I make 100 searches/day: (.2 * 100 * 7.5)/60 = 12.5min/wk. Not to mention the disruption in flow caused by those repeat searches. I applaud DDG for what they're doing, going up against a behemoth, but I just can't seem to make it work for me.
- ghostpepper 7y agoDoes it really take 5-10 seconds to click the search box and insert a !g to get the google results?
- coded 7y agoOr a couple seconds using Command+L (or Ctrl+L) and !g (or !s if you prefer).
- llamataboot 7y agoDid you really just claim you want to use DDG but you can't because it takes an extra 12 minutes per week?
- chuckgreenman 7y agoAlso, at 100 searches a day that's 6.25 searches per hour, if they're spread evenly over a 16 hour waking period. Who makes that many searches?!
