I don't get the hype around DDG. They are at the mercy of the underlying search engines.
- pdimitar 5y agoTrue, it steps on Bing is what I think people said. And yeah I too am not hyped for it but it still does serve a real need -- to be less ad-oriented than Google. But I guess it's time to start looking around.
