We need to get off of our high horses for a hot minute, I think. When big tech offers increasingly personalized results, we can’t afford being bothered by IP based location specific results. The thing is, I want local results. I use DDG as my main browser. Sometimes I need to search for ophthalmologists in my city. I want some localization. I just don’t want to inform google about the diet and hair count of my mother’s pet in exchange. If DDG offers me location specific result based on IP that is disassociated with my usage after the fact, great!
Privacy friendly alternatives can’t just be restricted for the super niche of power users. I want them to go mainstream. Catering to which involves the ability to personalize results because mainstream users would want to use their search engines for IRL usecases more than not (I imagine).
