Can somebody explain why anyone should use DDG instead of Google when they are both free and ad funded? I just issued my last Google query (some Mac OS troubleshooting) and the results were not even close. I understand that they try to differentiate by claiming they don't store previous queries and are stateless and not personalized in a sense which is a bug IMHO not a feature. Yet they sell it as privacy. If one doesn't like their search queries stored remotely the real private solution is for the search engine to run locally which sounds technically hard/infeasible or some differential privacy magic to obscure individual queries (I'm not sure how exactly) but DDG doesn't seem to have any benefit over Google in a meaningful way. That said, extra competition is always good for consumers
