I currently use DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine because Brave's Private mode uses it by default. I had heard of DDG before, but I assumed that Google was better. When I saw that it really works just as well, I decided to switch.
- smitty1e 7y agoI like DDG but, when I'm looking for answers to technical questions, I sell my soul to Sergey. Google gets me to the solution far more rapidly.
- samantohermes 7y agoIsn't it better to search for technical questions and corresponding answers on Q&A websites?
- detaro 7y agoNo, because they do not capture all the technical knowledge available online. If they have relevant data, a search engine will hopefully surface it.
- kilroy_jones 7y agoDDG works for most stuff, but I've found Google to be better for niche topics and for anything related to a forum content. When searching for "reddit" + something else Google does a better job.
- blululu 7y agoMy understanding is that Duck Duck Go is more or less a non personalized Bing search with paid upranking for Amazon products. As it is Bing is pretty solid, though the privacy boost DDG provides is not worth the drop in quality.
