Imo ddg's mission is incompatible with today's web. The mission is simply to serve you regular Google/bing search, but without tracking and they do that well, but it is missing the absolute trash fire that those results are currently (yes, they have moved somewhat from that but clearly they are still heavily reliant on Google ranking). Kagi on the other hand, I spend 5$ a month on search that doesn't track me AND gives me great results. The open-source stuff (think of me when a bang now gives you https directly :D) is just the cherry on top.

- phil294 3y ago> but it is missing the absolute trash fire that those results are currently I don't understand your answer. Isn't that a good thing? Why are you missing trash on DDG?
- themoonisachees 3y agoWhat I meant is that DDG focuses on privacy while promising the same results as Google. This used to be desirable, but now DDG ['s leadership] is seemingly unaware that Google's results are no longer good
- disqard 3y agoIIUC, "it is missing" was used in the sense "it is missing the forest for the trees" -- as in, the Big Picture is that search results are turning to garbage steadily, but if you shrink your perspective, hey at least you're not being tracked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
