- nyuszika7h 5y ago> Are DDG results inferior, for 95% of users no. Do you have a source for this figure? Maybe it's mostly true for the "average non-tech-savvy user in an English-speaking country", but I've found DuckDuckGo and everything other than Google inferior in many cases, especially when looking for Hungarian content.
- dazc 5y agoSorry, for the "average non-tech-savvy user in an English-speaking country" is more or less what I meant. Although this would have been true for Google also in the early days.
