Not defending Google, but this definitely reads like an article written by a lawyer with a vested interest in DuckDuckGo.

- jacooper 3y agoWhich isnt even independent! Its crazy to see people advocate for duckduckgo while brave search exists, is more privacy respecting and is actually independent.
- skilled 3y agoBrave sells the shit they scrape for AI training/inference... with no way to opt-out. How is that even remotely close to "privacy respecting"?
- worik 3y ago> Which isnt even independent! What do you mean? Who is pulling Duckduckgo's strings?
- jacooper 3y agoDuckduckgo is basically bing with another UI.
- hotnfresh 3y agoDDG also do in-line ads like Google, which are scummy as hell. I use them, but that single factor means I don’t like them.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> while brave search exists, is more privacy respecting and is actually independent Brave lost goodwill by going crypto. Now that Kagi has a superior product, there isn't a good reason to choose Brave other than not wanting to pay.
- jeffbee 3y ago> a lawyer with a vested interest in DuckDuckGo. Downvoters obviously do not know who Megan Gray is.
- worik 3y agoI have never heard of them https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/about/people/megan-gray https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/about/people/megan-gray That Megan Gray?
- jsnell 3y agoAs per the article itself "[previously] an executive for DuckDuckGo", which seems more relevant than what's on that Stanford page. I mean, I hadn't heard of them either. But they did state their bias up front in the article, and bloppe's description isn't unfair.
