Ask HN: DuckDuckGo or StartPage or other? Which one do you use and why?
I recently switched from DDG to StartPage and am seeing better search results imo but I have only been using it for couple days. I am curious what everyone else uses and how they find it?
- pull_my_finger 5y agoI use ddg and I wouldn't want to give up the bang operator shortcuts. I use them heavily.

- lukaslukas 5y agoI use “about:blank” as a start page. It’s way faster then anything else.
- bradknowles 5y agoCame here to say this, was not disappointed.
- desertraven 5y agoAlso switched from DDG to StartPage. Search results are much better. Am I correct in assuming StartPage uses Google as its search? My one hesitation is that it was recently purchased by an advertising/marketing company.
- fhaldridge7 5y agoYes it says so on startpage.com: > Startpage delivers Google search results via our proprietary personal data protection technology.
- LordRishav 5y agoI use a public SearX[1] instance because it gives me better results than both DDG and Startpage. [1]: https://searx.space https://searx.space
