I don’t like Android but that argument about downloading first DuckDuckGo browser, tapping and long-pressing is silly as f*#k. And, I’m saying this as long time DDG user. They should focus on improving their search engine rather than writing those pointless PR scraps. :-)
The one thing I agree with is giving a choice after first setup of a device to choose a default search engine (engine, not browser). Yet, I could bet serious cash on that Google will still be the major engine chosen. As ordinary Joe don’t even know about DDG or any other existing search engines.
- rusticpenn 6y agoI think the awareness is the first step for competition to survive.
- monkin 6y agoThe most important aspect isn’t awareness is relevant search results. For power users with all those !bangs and stuff DDG is awesome (me included), but average Joe will not find what he is looking for. Especially local results, Google on that field is ahead of competition by light years. I tried to convert many people who aren’t tech-savvy to DDG, none of them lasted more than a few days.
