You won't use DuckDuckGo because of the name? DuckDuckGo is so tricky to write on mobile that I copy pasted from your comment, but that doesn't stop me from using it. For me, googlability of names is important, but otherwise I don't care.
I'm really curious about your reasoning. Does it offend your aesthetic sensibilities? Do you think people who would choose such a name can't be trusted with search? Or something else entirely?
- homebrewer 2y agoUse ddg.co on mobile.
- mkl 2y agoOr ddg.gg - quicker to type.
- thiht 2y agoIt redirects to DuckDuckGo, the name is still written full size, and their stupid logo is still there. Give me ddg.co or duck.com with no redirect, no branding and no logo and I’ll use it.
- zufallsheld 2y agoSo what search engine without branding and logo do you use?
- thiht 2y agoNot my point, I don't care if the search engine has branding and a logo, I just want it to be not cringe.
- zufallsheld 2y agoWell, there is this looking not cringey for me: https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite
- thiht 2y ago> Does it offend your aesthetic sensibilities Yes. I’m completely aware it’s irrational and probably a bit dumb, but I don’t want to use something with a name I actively hate. Some names are "meh" or boring and that’s ok. But for DuckDuckGo and Forgejo I have a visceral reaction against their name. DuckDuckGo is an even worst offender because their logo is ALSO dumb and terrible, and I don’t want to see it.
