Is there a difference between ddg and startpage.com principles? Because I find startpage to be more in-line with the results I want to see.

- a3n 13y agostartpage serves you google results, anonymized. It's sort of like scroogle was, I suppose. ddg, I think, does their own spidering and also serves bing and other results (but not google), but that's from dusty memory and it could be wrong or changed. ddg will however forward your request to google if you want, and you'll get a results page from google itself. In fact I use ddg as a front end for google when I want to use google. startpage is Dutch/American, ddg is American. https://startpage.com/eng/company-background.html https://startpage.com/eng/company-background.html https://duckduckgo.com/about https://duckduckgo.com/about http://dontbubble.us/ http://dontbubble.us/ ddg's Gabriel Weinberg posts here on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=epi0Bauqu https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=epi0Bauqu
