- dredmorbius 5y agoSpecific examples? (NB: long-time DDG user myself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5879227 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5879227)
- eitland 5y agoIt was discussed on HN 4 days ago although it seems to have been flagged off the front page or something after a very short time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29813079 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29813079
- dredmorbius 5y agoThat happens to be my own submission, FWIW. DDG is accusing Google of manipulating browser-extension standards for Google's own benefit, FWIW. (Discussing specific examples in contenxt is often useful.) That particular issue seems to have more bearing on DDG's attempts at creating its own browser than of Google specifically thwarting DDG's search.
