Duckduckgo id basically anonymized bing. I'm a little bit surprised that http://startpage.com http://startpage.com isn't on the list, it's anonymized google in

  These DDG comments, both from GP and parent, are one of those argument patterns that you read on HN every single week. Has anyone tried to make a browser extension to filter this repetitive topic type thing? i.e. once I've read the echo chamber view on a given topic 12 times, it seems you could identify it and filter out future occurrences. It would be a great way to keep the content on here and reddit feeling fresh.

  A year ago StartPage sold a majority stake to, what essentially is, an advertising and marketing company - System 1 Group. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I have zero trust that these new owners will not succumb to some common and oh-so-effective shenanigans to improve their ad performance in the StartPage search results. That's like selling a rehab facility to a drug cartel. A match made in heaven.

  I really like Bing these days. Google has sanitized it's results so much that anything interesting is gone. Things off the top of my head: finding technical docs via searhing pds, "Index Of" listings, adult content (not even meaning porn, per se) - NSFW forums to come to mind (just look at how many subreddits are set to nsfw now), forums, etc etc
