Why use DDG when you can use Bing directly?
- freeflight 6y agoBecause DDG has bangs [0] [0] https://duckduckgo.com/bang https://duckduckgo.com/bang
- fsflover 6y agoCompare their privacy policies. Otherwise you are right and it's better to use https://yacy.net https://yacy.net and SearX.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 6y ago1) I use VPN anyway, so Bing doesn't know who I am. 2) Bing belongs to Microsoft whose primary business is to sell software, not ads, so they are less dependent on collecting user information. 3) If I wanted a search aggregator, I would use a non-US company, for example, Qwant.

- karinakarina 6y ago1) VPNs only hide your IP address. They don't make you anonymous. Search engines and websites can still track you. 2) If it's non-private, it still collects personal data. 3) Or Startpage - HQed in the Netherlands, hides IP address, Anonymous View feature lets you visit results in private, and Google results.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 6y agoWell, I do everything I can to avoid tracking. I don't use any G$$gle service, browse with Firefox with a bunch of anti-spying extensions. Startpage is good, I switch to it if qwant doesn't produce the required result. But I heard it feeds into G$$gle.
